The holidays are upon us. It is time to enjoy the sweet smells of holiday

cheer; to enjoy gathering with friends and spending time with our loved

ones. While the holidays are joyful for most people, they represent an

added level of stress for families of children with special needs. Will you

be able to manage your special needs child or will they manage you? This

workshop will help parents and teachers deal with the holidays by providing

them with essential skills to help them develop strategies to have a stress

free holiday season for both the family and their children. Some specific

areas of focus for this workshop will include:

* Assessing the cause and hidden symptoms of holiday stress for your

child.

* Learn how to set up a sensory room or space to provide critical

quiet time and space for your child.

* Avoid letting your child regress by developing and implementing

visual-based techniques and strategies to help improve/maintain his/her

skills and behavior during the holiday school breaks.

* Learn how to develop effective holiday schedules to reduce your

child's anxiety by helping him/her predict the events of his/day.

* Learn how to minimize and address sensory issues as contributors to

behavior.

* Developing and implementing specific transition techniques to help

reduce anxiety and increase understanding of expectation in a given

environment.

* Learn techniques to minimize holiday stress for the caregiver and

make your holidays more fun.

Our new pricing for workshops is just $39.95 per seat. A light breakfast and

refreshments will be served and a Workshop folder with presentation handouts

provided.
