Special Quest Christopher's Story

Through a story of the Port Gamble S'Klallam tribe, this DVD explores the basic principle of inclusion: that every person belongs and is a full member of their community. The story involves the Port Gamble S'Klallam tribe and how it embraced and supported Christopher and his family when he was born with spina bifida; the tribe developed partnerships among the Early Head Start, child care and Head Start program, Early Intervention agency, local school district, and many
other service providers to create and support an inclusive program. Throughout the DVD, they share their experiences, lessons learned, and some practical strategies for listening to family priorities, and developing and maintaining collaborative services. Christopher's Story was developed for SpecialQuest in 1999.

My son Gabriel has a rare form of dwarfism called CHH. He has lived a life of inclusion like Christopher, the beautiful child in this video. Like Christopher, my son has benefitted from the support of a wonderful EI, pre k, and school community as well as the support of LPA community and family, medical and therapy professionals. He has played baseball since age 6 and is now 17, a senior in High School, and a friend to all in his school. God Bless you for making this beautiful video about this wonderful child, who now must be out of high school. It would be wonderful to see Christopher's life now and how he is doing. His family and mother should be very proud of their work on this video and with their child. Thank you.
