“Knowledge is power.” – Francis Bacon
An understanding of your child’s strengths, weaknesses, and needs is a key ingredient in the recipe for your child’s success. Parent courses and information sessions are valuable tools to get the vital information that you need to help your child succeed! We understand that being a parent is one of the most wonderful privileges, but it can also involve some of the greatest challenges and frustrations, especially if your child is struggling and you can’t figure out why. Raising a child with special needs can present its own unique challenges and many parents can benefit from information and support in tackling these challenges. We offer educational courses on a variety of special topics to provide parents and caregivers with valuable information and support.
A parent who understands where the problems are coming from, learns the strategies that will help to solve the problems, and feels supported is an empowered parent! This carries over to making positive changes in their child’s life and development.
