Summer Family Field Trips (AK & NE)
The reason for family field trips is to give us a chance to work with our clients in a group, unstructured setting, provide "real time" training to families, and observe families interactions (siblings are invited to these events).
We would like a field trip in June and July.
In August, please plan on a back to school potluck BBQ, 2 weeks prior to the start of school. Behavior Matters will supply paper products and drinks.
