Join Parent Training Specialist, Glenesha Milner for a Webinar Highlighting Helpful/Accessible Apps!
No matter which hurdles your child faces, apps and other media included in this presentation can give him or her an added boost. We don’t expect an app to be a complete solution, of course. Working with students who face challenges requires lots of time, attention, and patience on the part of a parent, teacher, or other adult caregivers. Our goal is to offer you a host of fun apps you can add to your toolkit as you work with your child. POPIN Facebook Page
