Today at the pre-school I had a very interesting conversation with an Educational Specialist working with Deaf and Hard of Hearing (HOH) babies. She is a cranial sacral therapist among many other talents. Having been a massage therapist myself for many years, I have a interest in the type of work she is doing. Her job is multi-dimensional: involving families, babies, trauma, sign language, spirituality, cranial sacral, and teaching by encouraging development. I found a deep interest and passion in her work. I would love to develop the sensitivity to work with children and infants in profound ways. I walked away from her classroom with a new motivation, cranial sacral therapy.
I have also been trying to teach myself SEE, Signing in Exact English, to communicate more with some of the HOH children I work with. The teacher also loaned me a DVD for learning sign language.
I would like to utilize all the resources I can to work with little ones.
This internship has helped me reaffirmed my desire to work with children. It so much fun!
