PACER Center workshop helps parents of young children with disabilities communicate with professionals
PACER Center is offering “‘Communicating Your Child’s Strengths and Needs to Professionals,” a free workshop for parents of young children with disabilities. It is on Tuesday, May 26, 2009, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., at PACER Center, 8161 Normandale Blvd., Bloomington, Minn. Advance registration is requested.
It’s important for parents of children receiving early intervention services to let teachers, health care providers, and other professionals know both their children’s strengths and needs so they can best serve the child.
Parents will learn specific ways to:
- Identify their child’s strengths and needs
- Find useful information about their child’s disability
- Share that information with professionals who work with their child
To register, call PACER at 952-838-9000 or 952-838-0190 (TTY). In Greater Minnesota, call 800-537-2237 (toll free) or visit PACER.org.
