Granted, my experience pool is far from being statistically significant. Is anyone tracking this kind of info?Reenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07119020258638171080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-40096722323556669892012-03-18T23:05:31.791-05:002012-03-18T23:05:31.791-05:00I think there needs to be one major correction to ...I think there needs to be one major correction to that article:<br />"...pressure from CCCWA to place SN children via a rumored reward program: 1 additional non SN referral for every 5 SN placements."<br /><br />The rumor is actually that agencies are rewarded with 1 SN (Special Need) child for every 5 SF (Special focus) child placed. Still a big problem, but a HUGE difference. There are no rewards of extra non SN children to agencies. <br />Kind of sad that now days that SN is so common that it's considered non-SN by a platform so popular as PEAR. <br /><br />Other than that error in reporting (which is pretty big), I agree. In fact, it's even more concerning than what's actually being reported, knowing that more PAPs are being encouraged to adopt SF children the same as they used to be encouraged to adopt SN children, just a year or two ago. <br />I see the whole thing going sour if this keeps up.
