Supporting and Celebrating ADHD: A Strengths-Based Seminar
for Parents and Educators (3

Zoom This seminar is designed for parents, caregivers, and
educators who support neurodivergent middle school and high school students
with ADHD. Participants will explore the strengths and needs commonly

regulation challenges, and learn practical strategies for creating supportive
environments at home and in the classroom.
Celebrating and Embracing ADHD Workshop for Students (3
sessions) Tuesdays: September 23, September 30, October 7, 7:00pm on
Zoom The seminar is for all students interested in learning more
about ADHD. During the workshop, we will celebrate strengths often

thinking. We will have interactive activities to ensure students have
practical tools to navigate common challenges like executive function and emotional
regulation (managing your emotions).
Supporting
and Celebrating Autism: A Strengths-Based
Approach for Parents and Educators (3 sessions) Tuesdays: October 21, October 28, November 4, 7:00pm on
Zoom This empowering seminar is designed for parents,
caregivers, and educators who support autistic middle school and high school
students. Grounded in the principles of neurodiversity and Universal Design for
Learning (strategies that can help all students), this seminar offers a
comprehensive and affirming understanding of autism. Participants will explore
the diverse ways autism can manifest, focusing on key areas that impact
learning and well-being including sensory, communication, motor, attention, and
learning differences.
Understanding and Embracing Autism Workshop for Students (3 sessions) Tuesdays: November 11, November 18, December 2, 7:00pm on
Zoom Just like there are many different kinds of people in the
world, there are also many different ways our brains work. Autism is just one
of those amazing ways! This workshop is for students interested in learning
more about autism. This isn't a workshop where someone tells you what autism is.
Instead, we're going to listen to autistic visitors themselves and learn from
their experiences. We'll talk about the cool and unique ways autistic people
experience the world, like how they might see, hear, or feel things and
communicate and connect to people. But it's not just about understanding differences. This workshop
is about strengths! We'll explore the incredible talents and perspectives that
come with being autistic.
Supporting and Celebrating Dyslexia, Dysgraphia,
Dyscalculia, and Dyspraxia: Tuesdays: January 13, January 20, 7:00pm on Zoom This seminar will enable parents and teachers to expand
their understanding of dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and dyspraxia using a
strengths-based approach. Participants will explore the strengths and unique
learning profiles commonly associated with dyslexia, gain insight into the
neurological basis of reading and language and math processing differences, and
learn practical, evidence-based strategies for creating supportive and
accessible learning environments at home and in the classroom. Celebrating
and Embracing Dyslexia, Dysgraphia,
Dyscalculia, and Dyspraxia Workshop for Students (2 sessions) Tuesdays: February 3, February 10, 7:00pm on Zoom This workshop is for any student interested in learning
more about the 4 D’s (dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and dyspraxia) or
students who sometimes feel like reading, writing, and math are like puzzles.
This workshop is for you. We'll break down how the 4 D’s affect learning and
show you that it's just a different way the brain processes information – a way
that often comes with unique talents.
