[QUOTE="ctmom05, post: 188374, member: 2901"] Susie, I work for the state affiliate of a nationwide advocacy organization. From support staff right on up to the executive director, all of us have navigated multiple systems on behalf of our own families - which is where the best experience comes from. A lot of what I do at work I learned before I ever got my first paycheck. I have also learned a great deal about professionalism and networking since I was hired, as well as taking further "in-the-field" training. There probably is a similar organization in your area, Susie. You could get an overview of what they do by attending support groups, an educational workshop, or a leadership group. Getting to know your people will give you an idea if this is where you want to go. Not that I discourage the venture, but striking out independantly is really tough. [/QUOTE]
