Social Skills Workshop in October

Michelle Garcia Winner is coming to Seattle October 6th and 7th! She is a speech language pathologist who specializes in teaching social skills and executive functioning skills. I highly recommend this workshop for parents of children who are working on their social cognition. This is a model and a curriculum that's used a lot in our school district- understanding this model will help you understand ways to teach social skills and executive functioning skills, and will help you understand and support what's going on at school.

If you can find a way to attend this workshop, you should be there!
