The impact from Gina
Storyboard Text
- After reading and watching the presentation about Gina, I have been enlightened and motivated to learn more to help and support people like Gina.
- …”there is nothing wrong with her, “so what if she can not speak or walk…” - Gina's GrandmaGina's Grandma was positive and truly made Gina smile 
- I am impressed that Gina's parents/family accepted and provided love for Gina. Through positivity, Gina has learned and improved  listening and regulation skills.
- But I do have questions. 1. If I am a teacher, do I also need to know medical terms?2. What are ways I can spread awareness as a teacher?
- Another example is the usage of social media. Create an Instagram and then post announcements for parents to be informed. 
- Gina's parents were able to voice their opinions on what was best for their child. As a teacher we should encourage parents to use their voices. For example: Because technology is expanding, the usage of apps, such as GroupMe will not only connect with the teacher, but parents can send a message and express their thoughts. The teacher can listen and intake the information. 
- Communicating with parents are key. For instance: email. The usage of email is quick and convenient. It is also a way for the teacher to send updates to the parent on their child's progress. 
- What would happen if a parent can not attend Parent/Teacher conference? Nothing because the backup plan for parents to connect with the teacher is through ZOOM. With effort and planning, meeting with the parents virtually is a great alternative. 
- It is important to remember that working with parents are essential to understand and provide the best education for their child. 
- It is also important that  connecting with parents can open a social capital of peer support, friends, family and the community.
