Tuesday, March 22nd: Parenting the Learning Disabled Child - Rick Lavoie (7pm-9pm in Ajax)
It is very important that parents and professionals come to understand the significant impact that the child with learning problems has upon a family. Although these children contribute their special gifts to the family life, they can also complicate and compromise the day to day functioning of the household. This seminar is designed to explain the various reactions of family members to the learning disabled child and offer special suggestions to ensure the successful integration of the child into the family. The seminar is useful for parents and relatives of teh special needs child, but may be particularly helpful for the professionals who provide services for these families.
