Love & Logic Special Needs
Participants will learn a process for understanding the unique needs and competencies of each child, how to avoid becoming overwhelmed by a child’s multiple, severe disabilites, how to maintain healthy “can do” expectations, tips for teaching essential life skills, skills for developing and maintaining a cooperative parent-school team, and strategies for reaching discouraged and resistant learners!
This curriculum is designed to be a follow-up/bonus program for those that have already attended a Love and Logic class. It is not required, but recommended that you attend if you already have an understanding of the Love and
Logic techniques.
