This workshop is designed to teach parents and teachers how to help children with Special Needs transition with greater ease from the home environment to the next grade level and new classroom setting. It will also help prepare teachers and parents for a successful ARD outcome. Some additional areas of focus for this workshop will include:
- How to prepare to ensure a successful ARD process and outcome
- Developing and implementing specific transition techniques to help reduce anxiety and increase your child's learning potential during the upcoming school year.
- Establishing a positive communication plan between teachers and parents.
- Optimizing and structuring the home and the school environments to better serve your child's unique needs.
- Developing a circle of friends (in community & school environments) for your child to help them grow and develop in a more accepting and nurturing school environment.
The beginning of a new school year can be frustrating and anxiety ridden for children as well as for parents and teachers. Understanding how to achieve a successful ARD process is a critical first step. This workshop will answer many of your questions about what to do to help your child become more independent and successful at school. The responsibility of educating our children lies with parents and teachers. This cooperation is imperative to a good and healthy school experience for all.
