Focus

on the Future Training Center presents our Surviving the Holidays Workshop,

to help families of children with special needs deal with added stresses

that the holidays bring.

The

holidays are upon us. It¢s 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:

- 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.

Cost is $39.95 per seat. All seats purchased

through Paypal are guaranteed.

A

delicious continental breakfast and other refreshments will be served. A

Workshop folder with handouts will also be provided. Seating for this
