Are you wondering how (and whether) to talk to your Orchid about their diagnosis?
Join us for an insightful and empowering one-hour workshop designed to support parents and caregivers of Orchid Kids—children who are exceptionally sensitive and perceptive, often thriving in nurturing environments but struggling under stress. You’ll come away with the tools and strategies needed to discuss your child’s diagnosis with empathy, clarity, and confidence.
In this workshop, you’ll tackle this challenging milestone by learning:
- What steps to take before starting the conversation to make sure you’re emotionally and mentally prepared.
- How to explain complex medical or developmental terms in a child-friendly manner.
- Techniques for active listening and validating your child’s feelings.
- Strategies for providing comfort and reassurance during and after the conversation.
- How to establish a foundation for ongoing, open communication.
Don’t miss this skill-building opportunity!
Individualized Education Program
REPLAY
Learn about the roadmap for students who struggle with access in charter and public schools.
Individualized Education Program is what the letters IEP stands for. It is a LEGAL DOCUMENT that is meant to be a roadmap for students in charter and public schools who struggle to access the curriculum and who qualify under the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) for services.
Services like: counseling, speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, as well as other academic services like reading or math intervention, and accommodations (like extra time on tests, adapted materials for curriculum access, written cues, etc.).
We are grateful to have Dr. James Siddall, a Licensed School Psychologist and the owner of JDS Psychoeducational Services, to lead this conversation with us. Dr. Siddall has worked as a practicing School Psychologist in Arlington for seven years, at both the high school and elementary school levels, before moving into private practice. He’s seen all sides of the IEP process.
For $25.00 you’ll have:
- Precise language that matters in an IEP meeting
- Specific things to ask for in your child’s IEP
- Why IEPs are actually important (and how they differ from private services)
- Time for Q&A about your child’s IEP
