Session One
12:30 -1:45 p.m.
 
The Language and Literacy Connection
Presented by: Jordan Boyce, MEd, LDT, CALT

Language and literacy are closely linked, their relationship deeply interwoven. Jordan Boyce, MEd, LDT, CALT, our elementary reading specialist, will discuss the stages of language and literacy development and the role that language plays in learning to read and write. She will send you with tools and strategies to use at home that will help build your child’s literacy skills and support their academic growth.

 
Managing Big Feelings at Home
Presented by: Lily Yoder, MA, LPC, RPT

Parenting would be so much easier if each child came with a personalized manual about how to best parent them and what to do when this happens or that happens.  Unfortunately, that is not the case and every child is unique and special, which can make figuring out which parenting technique is the best approach near impossible at times.  Learn more about how Conscious Discipline’s 7 Powers for Self Control and & 7 Basic Discipline Skills can help turn resistance into cooperation, help manage the children’s fits at home, help children learn from their mistakes, and become the parent you want to be.

 
 
Session Two
2 – 3:15 p.m.

Presented by: Stephanie Landis, MS, CCC-SLP and Audrey VonBorstel, MS, CCC-SLP
Elementary Speech-Language Pathologists Stephanie Landis, MS, CCC-SLP, and Audrey Von Borstel, MS, CCC-SLP, provide practical strategies that go beyond the basics to implement at home to help support your child’s developing executive functioning skills to make your life smoother and decrease the daily frustration.
