Raising Orchid Kids (SpeechKids)

Location: Virtual 

Registration: For more information and registration, click here.

Dates: Six consecutive Thursdays, beginning April 22, 12:30 - 1:45 PM.

Parenting a child with developmental, behavioral and/or learning challenges can be incredibly challenging. Besides all the “regular” challenges (bedtimes, schedules, potty training, discipline, tantrums, school), parents of neurodiverse children have a whole other list of concerns: Why is my child so sensitive and hard to parent? What can I do to change challenging behaviors? What therapies does my child need? How do I take care of myself and my other family members when my needy child takes up so much time and energy? How do I nurture my child and understand their differences, while also pushing them to be their best selves?

Topics addressed include: 

  • Understanding difficult behavior 
  • Encouraging and empowering your child to learn new skills 
  • Supporting your child’s independence and sense of competence 
  • Planning for success 
  • Troubleshooting difficult situations
