Technology: Goals, Gadgets, & Game Changers!

Which tech goals should be on your child’s IEP? How can you advocate for them? This session will cover both high-tech, including APH’s Monarch, and low-tech items that can help level the playing field and enable your child to achieve academic, mobility, and social goals.

Talking to Your Pre-Teen (ages 8 – 13)

Talking to our kids about the emotional and physical changes of adolescence can be difficult. Many parents don’t feel up to the task. We hope this session can take some of the stress out of communicating about important information during this exciting developmental time.

8:30 – 9:45 PM – NOPBC WORKSHOP GROUP E

Mock IEP

Our advocates join forces to act out an IEP meeting that isn’t going exactly according to plan. Come laugh and cry with us at this empowering session.

Talking to Your Teen (ages 14 & up)

Talking to our kids about the emotional and physical changes of adolescence can be difficult. Many parents don’t feel up to the task. We hope this session can take some of the stress out of communicating about important information during this exciting developmental time.
