Upcoming Parent Groups and Workshops
At Spectrum Services we believe that parents must be partners in their child’s educational program. For this reason we offer Parent Support and Parent Workshops free for any parent of a child with a developmental disability. Funding is provided through grants from the Office of People with Developmental Disabilities. Click on any of the workshops below for details and Zoom link.
Understanding Sensory Systems
Wed. 2/14 – 12:30 – 2:00 – Remote Only - Click Here.
Thurs. 2/15 – 6:30 – 8:00 - In-person at Kingston School or Remote - Click Here
This workshop will be offering parents and caregivers insights to the sensory principles, which support our students in becoming more alert, organized, and “READY” to learn. We will discuss developmental sequences for providing a sound sensory foundation from which children can more dynamically engage in their daily routines, whether it be at home, in the community, or at school. We will explore the sensory systems and how “sensory storms” can present in varying ways based on children’s needs. Presented by Sophia Scala MS, OTR/L and Melissa Dagele COTA/L
Parent’s Discussion Group- Sibling Discussion Group
Wed. 2/21 6:30 – 8:00 – Meets in-person at Our Kingston School or Remote
Our parent discussion group offers caregivers the chance to share parenting experiences, educational and management strategies, community resources, upcoming conferences and new research. We can also offer support to one another in an informal and comfortable setting. Our special sibling discussion group is for the brothers and sisters ages 5-12 and includes various fun activities designed to help children learn many new ways of playing and interacting with their sibling in a fun manner. Facilitated by Leah Siuta.
Groups are free of charge for families of a child with a developmental disability. Parents can participate live via zoom, we ask for cameras to be on.
