Focusing on the issues inherent in a home or classroom with neurodivergent kids and adults. Parenting and teaching can be challenging on the best of days, and when neuro-differences are at play there are simultaneously more things requiring the adults' attention, and more potential triggers for the kids (or young adults.) Dr. Jan Wright and Laura Olinger will teach tools from The GEMS of Excellence and demonstrate their use on the real-life situations facing parents and teachers facing these particular challenges. Our intention is to provide tools that de-stress situations and bring more peaceful possibilities to all who attend.
