Please Join the Family Resource Network for a Lay Advocacy Training on:
School Avoidance and Anxiety with Speaker Kara Georgi
Wednesday, September 22nd

Anxiety is a natural part of childhood, but when anxiety gets in the
way of a child’s ability to learn, families may need support and
services through the Committee on Special Education.
During the workshop participants will learn how to collaborate with
your child’s school and identify what supports and services may be
available through your school and community for a child who has
anxiety.
About our Speaker: Kara Georgi is the Parent Education Specialist for
Starbridge Parent Training and Information Center. She offers support and
information for families and professionals navigating the special education
system in Cayuga, Tompkins, Onondaga, Cortland, Broome, Madison,
Chenango, Otsego and Delaware Counties.
