 Lay Advocacy:  School Avoidance and Anxiety

Wednesday, February 14, 2024

 9:00 a.m. to11:00 a.m.

Online via Zoom

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 this 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.

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, Chenango, Madison, Otsego, and Delaware Counties.
