Choice Theory is something Jim and I have practiced for many years. If you have seen my first blog, then you know how we came to use Choice Theory. In 1991 a granddaughter was born who had autism and was also developmentally disabled. Jim and I knew right at her birth that her parents weren't going to be able to raise her. We also knew that if Choice Theory was ever going to work for all children, all ages, and all diagnoses, it would have to work with this little one. I will refer to her as Ella.
In the next week I would like to have a conversation about how we can work with talk therapy, medication and choice theory; specifically we can make use of each as we endeavor to also work within the system and with the difficult children we have.

I just love the history of choice theory and how it has benefited the foster children. I have found CT to be quite useful in all areas of life as well. Thank you Jim and Carla.
