This week’s Journal will focus on functional skills. Write a 1-page reflection that answers the questions given.

How would you ensure that the skills you target are of value to the child? To the family?
Do you have an ethical obligation to ensure that skills you target benefit the child?
Could family culture impact what functional skills you target?
