Join us for a 6-week training and support group for parents of children with developmental, emotional, and educational challenges. Parents whose children are demonstrating problem behaviors related to ADHD, a developmental disorder, a specific learning disability, or a social emotional disorder will find answers, effective strategies, and support here. Each meeting will incorporate lectures, behavioral skills training, role-playing, and opportunities to share. You will learn:
Problem behaviors impact the whole family. In addition to learning a behavior analytic approach to managing your child's problem behaviors, you will develop effective coping behaviors of your own, a key ingredient to your peace of mind and your child's success. And you will learn how to teach others in the family so that they are protected and their responses support the plan. New groups forming every September, January, and May.
Your Cost
$180 for all six sessions. Or pay as you go at $45 for the first parent; $15 for the second parent.
