Workshop Description
Life can be stressful when a child is "labeled" as having a special need or disability. This interactive workshop will look at all the various support services out there to bring needed relief to families of children with disabilities. There are many programs, services, systems and strategies that will help maximize the strengths, skills and talents of the child while helping with the special needs. Intervention programs, social skills groups, parents support groups, benefits and entitlements, laws that protect your rights, respite services, special developmental clinics, sources of sensory stimulation and much more will be explored. The goal of this workshop is to provide you with: information, motivation and inspiration. Let's share the needs, wants, wishes and dreams together.
