Training Feb. 20 for parents of children with disabilities
Published: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 11:13 AM CST
Pilot Parents of Southern Arizona, a parent training and information center for families that have children with disabilities, will be providing two free workshops in your area.
The morning workshop will provide families with information about Preschool Transition and Play Based Learning. Parents will have a better understanding of a child's developmental areas; how to apply the developmental areas to preschool activities; and how to apply those activities for reinforcement at home.
The afternoon session will be on ADHD. If your child or teen has ADHD, or if you suspect that to be the case, you might be overwhelmed by all the information. Often the information is based on good scientific research. This session will provide information on who can prescribe medicine, the various disability categories under which a child with ADHD may receive services. Some specific instructional strategies will be shared. Join us so you can advocate better for your child.
These workshops for your area will be held at DES Office, Sierra Vista, AZ, 2981 E. Tacoma, on Wednesday, Feb. 20. The morning session begins at 10 a.m. and ends by noon. The afternoon session is from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. You may sign up for one or both sessions. Pre-registration is required by calling 1-877-365-7220 (toll free) or 520-324-3150.
