SAFA- Social Acceptance for All!
Sunday November 6, 2-2:45 pm
Children in grades K-3 are invited to learn about how we are the same and how we are different by listening to stories and participating in interactive discussions and activities presented by school psychologist, Barry Wasserman. Some topics that will be covered are Autism, Down Syndrome, Mental Retardation, Cerebral Palsy, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), Learning Disability, Dyslexia, Epilepsy, Tourette Syndrome, etc. There are some ways that we are all the same. There are some ways that we are different. We all have strengths and weaknesses, but we have different combinations of strengths and weaknesses. Some people have extra difficulty with learning, or talking, or walking, or thinking, or writing, or math, or getting along with others, or playing, or making friends, or paying attention, or sitting still or things like that just because they are born that way. It’s no one’s fault. It just happens. Some of us get better at our weaknesses by learning what to do, what not to do, and practicing. Some of us improve a lot; some of us improve only a little. That’s just the way it is. In each session we will talk about similarities/differences, strengths/weaknesses and multiple disabilities. This week’s focus will be on physical disabilities. This program runs for three consecutive Sundays. Registration recommended.
