This conference is especially important in light of recent data showing a dramatic increase in reported neurological disorders in school age children. Clearly, every teacher at some point in their career will be challenged by these issues. Parents and teachers often describe children with neurological disorders as impulsive, immature, inattentive, disorganized and craving predictability. While bright, the children often appear to be clueless about everyday situations, conversations, and social conventions. Common behavior management techniques usually do not work with neurological disorders and require different treatments. For complete details, click here>>
