right for your family and your child.

You will learn how to identify problematic behaviors,

why they occur and techniques for reducing them.

Visual systems are important for our children to help

them with transistions, to be able to communicate and

to help with problem behaviors.

Learn how to plan for successful community outings and

for applying your child's new skills to daily life to

make them more meaningful and useful.

August 19 - Daily Living Skills

Self help skills and chores are complex and can be
