Classroom Management and Effective Teaching of Children and
Adolescents with Emotional and Behavioral Problems
A conference for teachers, administrators, social workers, counselors, and psychologists focused on evidenced-based classroom strategies that really make a difference. Many children have emotional or behavioral problems that present special challenges for teachers and others in school. This workshop will provide you with strategies to enhance learning, build self-esteem and control disruptive and otherwise troublesome behavior of students with emotional and behavioral problems. We will discuss the causes of these problems (conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, ADHD, depression and bipolar disorder, bullying, societal violence, parental mismanagement, among others) and, on this foundation, build practical strategies to maintain behavioral control and teach effectively.

Grandparents: The Do's and Don'ts of Planning for Your
Grandchild(ren) with Special Needs
Grandparents want the best for their children and grandchildren. They often give gifts while alive, or make provisions for their loved ones after they are deceased. Grandparents who are in a position to leave money to grandchildren often want to do something for their grandchild(ren) with special needs. They often worry about a severely handicapped or disabled grandchild, who may need additional assets or assistance to lead a quality life. Grandparents are sometimes told not to leave their grandchild(ren) with special needs anything because the child(ren) may lose government benefits. People are often confused as to what to do or not to do. Grandparents can leave money to their grandchild (ren) with special needs. There are very special ways to do it!
Money has to be left in such a way so that government benefits
are not lost. Assets in excess of $2,000 will cause the loss of
certain government benefits for the person with special needs.
