Supporting Families with Diverse and Complex Needs

Wednesday September 20, 2017       Time 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm       2 hours 

Fee: $35.00     FCC Fee: $20.00 (Promo Code)                                                

This workshop will explore the essential roles of parents and service providers. Parent involvement and competence is a key component of success for children/youth with developmental exceptionalities. A parent's relationship with the community professionals can make all the difference in terms of their level of empowerment. The workshop explores practical ways of moving practitioners towards more sensitive services that are empowering families. It includes ideas on making the connection, building the relationship and approaching families with more positivity.

Objectives:

  • To learn from research based information regarding complex needs presented by modern families.
  • To recognize the importance of relationships.
  • To explore practical ways of connecting and building relationship with families.
  • To discuss practical ways of empowering families.

*Suitable for intermediate early learning child care professionals working with infant/toddler, preschool and school age children, including children with extra support needs, adult instructors and administrators.
