Navigating the Jargon Jungle

Welcome to the Rainbows and Rain podcast for Early Interventionists.  My name is Erika Bowen and I am an Early Childhood Special Education Teacher in Minnesota servicing children with disabilities and their families from birth to age 3.  Listen to stories of visits and practices from the field.  Join me in my reflection as I work to empower caregivers to help their children learn and grow through everyday learning opportunities.  We cannot grow without the rain and through the rain we see our efforts pay off; in another word, the rainbows.  For both our families we service and the professional growth we continue to strive for in our practice.  Hear how I struggle, succeed and find humor in it all!
