Guest guest Posted February 23, 2002 Report Share Posted February 23, 2002 Penny - I'd just walk in and give them your resume, explain your life, your daughter, and show them your IEP, and what services you have gotten for her. Talk to whoever is in charge about all you know about advocacy, IEP's, sensory issues, symptoms, enzymes, etc - - and everything you say should speak for itself. Good luck - it sounds just right for you. Grace Job Help > I am thinking about putting a resume and cover letter together for a job > opening at Nevada Pep (Parents Educating Parents).

I beg to differ... are you not yourself an advocate for your own child? Are you not a teacher, occupational therapist, speech therapist? Maybe you just need to add onto your resume G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
