We "host" medical and/or education students from UNM through a program, Families As Faculty. Every other month or so 2 students come to our house to visit and discuss issues we have come across having a child with special needs. Of course when it comes to Dr's or the education system we have had our fair share of issues. Basically, they listen to negative and positive experiences we have had and with that they can take it with them into their future career. I'd like to think with all the students I've met over the years I have given information that changed the way they approached or treated people with special needs.... Last night we met with 2 med students who are very close to becoming Dr's. They brought over empanadas for dessert and they sure were yummy :) my favorite, pumpkin.....
