So much happens when we conduct a Home Visit.  Detailed questions and artful analysis are carried out casually over a cup of tea and some light refreshments.  Many times Special Education and / or Physical Therapy are offered on-site to a family who may find it difficult to travel to our Kai Fu Center. And this is certainly the case for Jia Jia and his grandmother.   Each time our Cross Care Team comes calling, Jia Jia engages in a learning session specially prepared by our professional staff to meet his needs that he might make progress toward his short and long-term objectives. But equally important are those moments of connection, such as in the photograph below.  One of our staff is walking hand-in-hand with Jia Jia and alongside his grandmother just spending a few moments enjoying the beautiful weather.  And this is indeed an apt portrayal of our work with families. We do not stand apart from them, cooly directing their next steps.  Instead, we journey with them as they face the unexpected complexities of life with courage.
