This discussion, facilitated by Tennille Love-Frost, Regional Center Advising Generalist, focuses on the importance of one’s name because it distinguishes us from others, establishes our own uniqueness and identities, reflects our cultures, and honors our families and heritage. Therefore, as education professionals we must be intentional in correctly pronouncing and spelling someone’s name. It is not just respectful, but is also vital to ensuring they are seen, acknowledged, and valued for who they are as a unique individual!
