| Notes: |
This training for
adoption professionals introduces the challenges parents and kids face as
children become learners in the school system. Children adopted from abroad
may start out with simple developmental delays that appear to resolve which
may hen evolve into school challenges. There are critical challenge points
where kids are expected to step up to attend and focus in a classroom
setting. There areexpectations for children to organize their thoughts, to problem solve, and practice their learning as they do homework. How can professionals help parents advocate for their children in the school system so that the child can be successful? |
