Individual
      Spotlight


 Nominated by the staff at her program at the Hab Center, Janet Howard is Visions Spotlight Individual for Fall 1999.
   Janet, according to the HabCenter staff, has made great progress in her communica- tion skills, speaks up for herself more and more frequently and has become a solid citizen in her daily program.
   At the Hab Center, Janet enjoys working with Lydia.  She has displayed a real aptitude bor bead work and was working on a necklace when Visions visited recently.  She also enjoys trips to the Mall to shop for clothes.
   When we spoke to her, Janet was still excited about her day at the Big E in Springfield where she had a great time seeing the sights and enjoying hot dogs, fried dough and deep-fried veggies.
   Also at the Big E, Janet showed her concern for others by not riding an elephant with her friends because she was afraid her leg brace might hurt the animal and spoil everyone's good time.
   At home at 41 Daniels Avenue, Janet especially enjoys watching movies, hanging out with her best friends, Barbara Dudley and Tina Bruzzi, and helping take care of Chubby, the house cat.  She and her friends also took a vacation to Cape Cod and went on a whale watching cruise.  According to Debbie O'Connor,  director at 41 Daniels Avenue, Janet is epecially caring toward her housemates.
   Congratulation, Janet!
