Conference Presentations

Keynote Speaker: in his presentation Dr. Brooks discussed a strength-based approach for working with and raising children and adolescents with special needs. He will describe (a) why some children with special needs have an easier time developing a positive self-image than others, (b) the importance of identifying and reinforcing each child and adolescent’s “islands of competence,” and (c) specific strategies that parents and teachers can use to nurture motivation, learning, self-discipline, caring, hope, and resilience in children and adolescents with special needs.
