Parents of children with learning differences are often faced with the decision of which type of evaluation will best meet the needs of their child. This decision is important to ensuring that a child is supplied with the interventions/supports that will provide the greatest potential for success.
Life is a journey. There are lessons along the way, challenges to be faced, sacrifices, pain, triumphs, joys, love, hope, trust, and faith. We all have so much to contend with in way of daily stresses, strained and conflictual relationships, monotonous daily grind of work and chores. How do we move past the mundane and live more fully, with creativity, happiness, and meaning in our day-to-day lives?
Ms. Arberman will discuss what you need to know about the Independent Educational Plan (IEP). An Independent Educational Plan (IEP) is a legal document that describes your child’s needs, goals and mandated supportive services. In this lecture, you will gain knowledge of how to navigate and use the IEP school meeting to advocate for your child. You will obtain the skills to become an “insider”, advocate, and equal partner in the IEP planning and implementation process.
The prospect of adulthood is particularly complex for individuals affected by developmental disability, their families, and the people who care about them. Today?s adult service delivery system for people with developmental disabilities strives to honor their status as full-fledged citizens who have reached the age of majority.
As a mom of an 8-year-old daughter who has a reading disorder (dyslexia), I am starting an informal parent-led support group for parents of children with dyslexia. Much of the information?and support?I have received about dyslexia has been from fellow parents, who often have felt just as isolated and confused. If this sounds like you, please come to our first meeting Tuesday, April 3, from 8-10 a.m.
