INFORMATIONAL Parent Workshop with MnNeat: Supporting Your Neurodivergent Student (Autism, ADHD, and more)
Adult Learning / Family Focus / Parenting -
Winter/Spring 2024 Adult
Learn how to advocate for your neurodivergent (Autism, ADHD, etc.) child! We live in a world that doesn't always match what they need and often there are barriers to engaging in activities or daily living.
MnNEAT will explore a framework that examines four key areas we can support, modify, and adapt, allowing for inclusion in chosen activities. We will discuss as a group the different supports and strategies in approaching professionals (educators, medical and mental health professional), caregivers (day care, family members, PCAS), advocating for services, supports, and accommodations, and challenging activities and behaviors at home.
Sensory processing and regulation will be discussed throughout the presentation to better understand and meet your child's unique needs.
*Please register each participant individually.
