Specialized Needs Training Self-Assessment |
This self-assessment is designed to be taken as an individual. If you are part of a couple, our recommendation is for you to complete this worksheet separately, and then discuss results together.
Some families in the early stages in this process may find that they trend toward answers numbered 4 or 5. This is totally normal and expected – there is no “right” answer. You may even find the answer varies, depending on how much sleep you've had or self-care you've engaged in recently!
The options below may not be an exact description of your feelings or reactions to the prompts provided. We recommend you select the best fit, that most closely describes your feelings or reactions. The most effective way to use this tool is to be honest with yourself (and your partner as applicable), to spark open and honest reflection and conversation.
Once you click the "Submit" button, you'll be able to review and discuss your responses with your partner, support group, or adoption specialist.
