TALKING WITH YOUR KIDS ABOUT SEXUALITY - Grades 4 to 7

This presentation addresses the importance of giving your children the
information they need to make responsible decisions for themselves as
they mature and grow.  A framework will be provided for parents to
understand normal sexual development of young children.  In addition,
methods of educating and communicating with our children about sexuality

SUPPORTING THE CHILD WITH NON-VERBAL LEARNING DISORDER (NVLD) AND WEAK
EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING

The child with NVLD has strengths in verbally based skills and
weaknesses in visual-spatial, motor and social skills.  One of the key
issues for children with NVLD is weak executive functioning.  As parents
and adults work to better support and understand the child with NVLD,
Dr. Helmus will provide explicit techniques and compensatory strategies
to address both the disorder and the associated weak executive function
skills.
