We’ll be joined by parent coaches Colin Cass and Mary Hickey who are excited to meet with such a knowledgeable group. Here’s their description:

During this meeting we will introduce common parenting themes and how to meet the unique needs of families of neurodiverse students. The role of parents in this transition will be discussed, highlighting the challenges they face and the need to shift from being primary advocates to fostering their children’s independence. Key components of what we have learned through a parent coaching model will be shared, including fostering independence, building resiliency, establishing boundaries, and the distinction between advising and direct problem-solving. Additionally, we will share how outside partnerships can increase operational efficiency for a program.

If you’d like to join us, please reach out to Lee Burdette Williams for more information!
