What does a School Counselor do?
Below you will find two videos that describe the role of the School Counselor in the school and how school counseling has evolved over the years as a profession. The position that was once (and is sometimes still) known as "Guidance Counselor" has morphed into "School Counselor" -- a role that focuses more on preventative strategies as opposed to only career planning or scheduling classes...take a look!
Famous people with disabilities...
You may find that kids today don't know a lot of these folks (insert an "I'm so old" realization here) but it's a great talking point for you and your child...there are some great one's in there that even surprised me! I was able to confirm at great deal of the information but please remember that it is meant for inspiration and not necessarily a source to site for a paper or report :)
It's a nice way to teach your child that what some might consider a weakness could actually turn out to be your biggest strength! Enjoy :)
