“What does this assessment actually mean for my child?”

If you’ve ever asked yourself that question, you’re not alone.

Our upcoming Decoding Assessments Workshop is designed for parents and caregivers who want to better understand their child’s evaluations and feel confident in next steps.

Here’s what we’ll unpack together:

- The difference between psychological and psychiatric assessments
- What to ask when medication is part of the conversation
- How to explain testing to your child before the appointment
- What to do with test results and how to turn them into action
- How to work with your child’s school to get the right support
- And how to know when it’s time for an assessment in the first place

You’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and a plan for what comes next.

Date: Tuesday, 11/17/25
Time: 6:30PM - 8:00PM
Where: Avon Public Library (Community Room)
Who: This event is for parents/caregivers of children.

For additional info, contact us at (860) 878-2028 ext. 1 or admin@greaterhartfordwellness.com

Because understanding your child’s needs shouldn’t feel confusing. It should feel empowering.

Halloween can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming for some kids. 👻

Here are a few simple ways to help make it a more enjoyable night for everyone:

1) Use visuals: Try a picture schedule or short story to show what will happen.

2) Practice ahead: Walk through trick-or-treating, like knocking, saying “thank you,” or wearing a costume.

3) Know your child’s comfort level: Keep plans short, bring comfort items, and use a signal for breaks.

4) Celebrate every moment: Whether your child visits one house or ten, their joy matters most.

A little planning helps make Halloween fun, flexible, and full of smiles for every family. 🎃
