TONIGHT at 5:30 pm! Monterey County SELPA's Community Advisory Committee (CAC) is presenting a parent workshop on "Social Narratives." After that, Special Kids Connect will be presenting results from its annual family survey. Join us through this LINK: https://montereycoe.zoom.us/j/92951360570 [Spanish translation will be provided!]

About the Social Narratives workshop: Does your child struggle with new routines, social expectations, or peer interactions? Social Narratives—short, visual stories—can make a big difference by helping children understand what to expect and how to respond. In tonight's presentation, you’ll discover practical ways to create and use Social Narratives at home and in the community, with examples, apps, and resources you can use right away. We invite you to join us for an encouraging session designed to give you tools that support your child’s growth and independence.
