Toma el Tiempo: The Wisdom of Migrant Families in Consultation
Clare, Mary M.; Jimenez, Anna; McClendon, Jennifer
Journal of Educational and Psychological Consultation, v16 n1&2 p95-111 2005
Children of migrant farm working families often live and learn in conditions that conspire against both health and education. At the same time, these children are as capable as any in our nation. Education and health care professionals are frequently in positions to support these capabilities and migrant families can be significant contributors to the success of education and health programs. However, the variables obstructing collaboration with migrant families are numerous and often go unidentified. More invisible are the variables supporting natural and positive inclusion of these families in problem-solving processes. This article reveals both barriers and avenues to connecting with migrant farm working families so their children may gain greater benefits from health and educational services.
