LET’S GET ORGANIZED
Parents of children with special needs manage busy lives and often lots of paperwork. Many ask, how do I keep it all straight? This workshop helps parents work with their own strengths and successes, providing concrete written materials to strengthen their organizational skills.
LET’S GET ORGANIZED participants take home a three-ring binder, organizational supplies, and lots of ideas on ways to bring order to the mountains of paperwork that relates to their child’s medical and educational needs. Workshops can be requested for parent groups at no charge. Materials for this workshop are available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Chinese.

LISTENING AND LEARNING
Would you like to share your experiences with other parents?
Raising children brings unique gifts and perspectives to parents. By sharing the wisdom that comes from each challenge we face along the way, we lighten the load of those who follow us while validating the value of the lessons we have learned.
LISTENING & LEARNING is a workshop geared to build your listening skills, an important step to becoming a volunteer Support Parent for our Parent-to-Parent Program. We rely on Support Parents to offer compassionate listening to parents who are facing challenges in raising their children with special needs. Support Parents are trained to listen, share concerns, and offer informaiton and support, while respecting confidentiality and cultural and individual differences.
Our Parent-to-Parent Program's Support Parent Training is available in English and Spanish.
