Working successfully with children of special needs has become a topic of increasing interest in recent years. This workshop will help the Montessori educator to understand the specific needs of children at risk for learning differences and provide specific strategies to the participants for matching the Montessori educational method to those needs.
The content of the workshop includes:
- An Overview of Learning Disabilities
- The At-Risk Child
- Montessori methods modified for the at-risk child
- Oral and Written Language Program
- Social Skills Development - Discipline
- Sensorial and Mathematics for the at-risk child
Our presenters are faculty members of the Shelton School in Dallas, TX - a world-reknown Montessori based program that exclusively serves children with learning differences.
We are honored to announce that the lead presenter will be Joyce Pickering, Shelton's former Executive Director and a current member of the AMS Board. A long-time Montessorian and widely recognized as the premier expert on including children with learning differences in a Montessori context, we are thrilled to share her expertise with the Seton community! Joyce will be joined by one or two Shelton faculty members to provide the content for this course.
