It is estimated that 90% of children consistently "labeled"
as difficult in the classroom, have experienced some degree
of trauma and sometimes face extreme learning challenges.

Early life trauma creates an indelible imprint upon the child's brain that often times goes years without being adequately addressed. Unfortunately, these children seldom receive the support needed to help mend these emotional injuries and suffer in their educational experience. As more and more pressure is placed on educational environments and professionals to achieve positive outcomes, quick, effective strategies have become essential.

Come join Eric Guy, MSW, LSW, for a full day event that offers specific, step-by-step strategies and interventions to these difficulties to promote learning and an environment where every child can succeed. Strategies are also offered for developing skills for the parent and professional to enable them to create a therapeutic learning environment. If you were ever looking for simple insights to overcoming learning difficulties that can have an immediate impact, this is the seminar for you!
