Strength Based IEP Workshop
Live Workshop: Thursday, May 30, from 7pm – 8pm ET
Replay will be available until June 30, 2024
Join Dr. Jade Rivera, Lab Director for the Strength-Based Assessment Lab, and Debbie Reber of Tilt Parenting on Thursday, May 30th, for a practical workshop on writing Strength-Based IEP Goals.
In this powerful and practical workshop, Dr. Jade Rivera will demonstrate how to reframe and “strength-boost” IEP goals so they incorporate and leverage kids strengths, sharing practical examples that represent the common goals found in IEPs for neurodivergent children.
Envision a world where your child’s unique abilities are not just recognized but celebrated. A world where they can connect with others and their true potential is seen and appreciated. This is the work behind the Strength-Based Assessment Lab. Its goal is to empower students, families, educators, and professionals to create positive, effective, and collaborative learning experiences, and foster a world where every student feels valued and is empowered to demonstrate their abilities and skills in a personal and meaningful manner.
This is truly paradigm shifting stuff — our children’s strengths and talents are the key to their future.
