Some children struggle with social, adaptive, and sensory needs. As a result this may affect their ability to be successful in various settings although academically they are appropriate. This conference will assist the professionals and parents to learn strategies to teach these children so that negative behaviors or difficulty attending to activities presented may not interfere with their success with learning. In addition, we will also learn to identify how to assist children to react appropriately to peers and adults in and outside of the educational environment. | | | Lunch: Buffet lunch provided. Vegetarian options are available.
