Course Description:

This day long workshop is designed with parents in mind, providing overviews of popular topics and a time to recharge and relax. Participants will have the opportunity to meet other parents and service providers in our area. The morning includes an inspiring opening session by Janice, Rich and Micah Fialka-Feldman who will focus on hope and possibilities. The seminars to follow will feature trusts and wills, positive behavior supports for children, low tech sensory solutions, providing support for older children with autism, and much more.

Presenter:
Janice Fialka and Rich Feldman have two adult children, Micah, 25 years old and Emma, 21 years. They have written and presented extensively across the country about their experiences as parents, especially in their role of advocating for full inclusion for their son, Micah who has a cognitive disability (also referred to an intellectual disability). Janice and Rich will share some of the top lessons they have learned as parents, including learning to listen to their children, finding humor where you least expect it, taking risks, building circles of support, and learning to ask for help. Their presentation, full of real life stories, is lively, honest, and informative. In 2009, the entire family received the Family Voices “Lifetime Achievement Award” in Washington D.C.
