Reflection: Who am I?

Purpose: This assignment aims to reflect on the readings and discussions as you relate to your own family experience and how it might influence your work with families of children with special needs. You should interview your family members to dig deeper and try to understand as much as you can about your values, culture, and child-rearing practices.

Task Description: Write a reflection on the following themes.

• What were your core values, culture, and child-rearing practices growing up? Has anything changed since you became an adult? Please explain.
• Compare and contrast your own values and beliefs with the values and culture of the ones of families of special needs children and how that might be different from yours. 
• How will this be beneficial to you as an educator?
