About a One Page Profile – What is it?
A One-Page Profile, originally developed by Helen Sanderson Associates, provides an opportunity to describe your child in a positive way. All on one sheet of paper, it becomes an excellent introduction for those who may or may not have already met your child. It contains information on ‘what is important to your child’, ‘what others appreciate about your child’, and ‘how best to support your child’.
A One Page Profile enables you to share who your child is through your child’s eyes, your eyes, and the eyes of those who know your child best. Family Tip: This is an excellent way to share information that is different than the professional reports and assessments so often used at meetings. Professionals who have received a One Page Profile have expressed appreciation for how helpful it is to better know the child or person they are supporting.
