UPCOMING: Free parent workshop; Siblings have special needs, too.

May 6, 2014 //

If you find yourself devoting a lot of time to meet the needs of your child with special needs and sometimes feeling that the needs of your other children are either being put on the back burner or going unnoticed then this is the workshop for you.

We will focus on talking about the experience of the sibling and provide concrete steps that you can take as parents to support them and meet their needs.

When? Wednesday May 21 @ 7:30pm – 8:45pm

Where? Watch Me Grow, Children’s Sensory Gym & Speech-Language Center, 361 East 19th St. @ 1st Ave., Top floor, New York, NY 10003
