SUMMARY:Parenting in Partnership: Blending Perspectives and Perceptions for More Strategic Parenting
DESCRIPTION:Being the parent of a child with special needs is often a confusing\, frustrating and deflating experience. The different experiences each parent has with their children can contribute to quite different perspectives on how best to guide them.\n\n\nIt’s a struggle to parent from the same page when we sometimes question if we’re even in the same book. School psychologist David P. Sylvestro\, MA\, CSP\, will discuss how parents can work to better sync their parenting philosophies and policies to be on the same page. Topics include enhancing parents’ knowledge base related to their child’s overall profile\, practicing the language of effective conflict resolution and expanding their affective vocabulary — the language of emotions.\n\n\nThis free event is an in-person presentation. Register online.\n\n\nPresented by SPED*NET in partnership with Wilton Public Schools\, Wilton Library and Newtown Sped PTA.\n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...

DESCRIPTION:Please join Wilton Library on Thursday\, Feb. 6\, at 7 p.m. when the library along with SPED*NET will present an author talk with Jill Mays on her new book Nurturing Nature: A Guide to Gardening for Special Needs. While the guide is geared specifically toward individuals with special needs\, it has much to offer gardening groups of all ages and abilities as well as anyone starting out.\n\n\n“Nurturing Nature provides lots of practical\, fun gardening activities for children. They will learn that nature is much more interesting than electronic devices.”— Dr. Temple Grandin\n\n\nVulnerable populations — such as neurodiverse or physically challenged individuals — are at an elevated risk of suffering from isolation and stress-related illnesses. Gardening is a good solution since it proves beneficial to physical\, cognitive\, and emotional health. This book gives readers all the information and resources they’ll need to get started!\n\n\nMays is the author of Your Child’s Motor Development Story\, highlighting the crucial importance of sensory exploration and natural play for healthy development. An occupational therapist specializing in sensory integration for many years\, she has conducted workshops in a variety of settings and provided consultation to parents\, educators and health care providers. For the past 10 years she has immersed herself in gardening\, working with farmers and assisting in the development of children’s garden programs. She developed and currently leads a garden group for special needs adults. Mays lives with her husband\, Eric\, their Portuguese water dog and a flock of chickens at the far end of Cape Cod.\n\n\nSPED*NET\, Special Education Network\, Ltd.\, is a volunteer-run nonprofit educational organization dedicated to helping parents of children with special needs become their children’s best advocates throughout the special services process and the transition to college\, employment or other post-secondary pursuits. The organization strives to empower parents\, support families and change the lives of children with special needs.\n\n \n\n\nElm Street Books will be on site to sell copies of the book\, which Mays will sign. A portion of the proceeds benefits Wilton Library.\n\n\nRegistration is required. To register\, visit the Wilton Library website.\n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...

SUMMARY:Wilton Library Author Talk with Samantha Greene Woodruff in Conversation with Jacqueline Friedland
DESCRIPTION:Join Wilton Library for an Author Talk program with Samantha Greene Woodruff in conversation with fellow author Jacqueline Friedland about Woodruff’s latest novel\, The Trade Off. Inspired by the true story of a pioneering investment legend\, The Trade Off is a powerful novel about identity\, sacrifice\, family loyalties\, and the complex morality of money. In this historical novel\, a brilliant and ambitious young woman strives to find her place amid the promise and tumult of 1920s Wall Street.\n\n\nBea Abramovitz has a gift for math and numbers. With her father\, she studies the burgeoning Wall Street market’s stocks and patterns in the financial pages. After college she’s determined to parlay her talent for the prediction game into personal and professional success. But in the 1920s\, in a Lower East Side tenement\, opportunities for women don’t just come knocking. Bea will have to create them.\n\n\nIt’s easier for her golden-boy twin brother\, Jake\, who longs to reclaim all their parents lost after fleeing the pogroms in Russia to come to America. Well-intentioned but undisciplined\, Jake has a charm that can carry him only so far on Wall Street. So Bea devises a plan. They’ll be a secret team\, and she’ll be the brains behind the broker. As Jake’s reputation\, his heedless ego\, and the family fortune soar\, Bea foresees catastrophe: an impending crash that could destroy everything if she doesn’t finally take control.\n\n\nWoodruff is the author of two number-one Amazon-bestselling historical fiction novels\, The Lobotomist’s Wife (2002) and The Trade Off (2024).

SUMMARY:Children with High(er) Functioning Autism — Instruction\, Services and Supports Covered by Insurance
DESCRIPTION:One of the best-kept secrets in the world of health insurance companies is that children (toddlers to 21) diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders qualify for significant amounts of services in their homes and communities. This could be up to 30 hours each week for several years\, with most of the services covered by insurance. The important question is: What would you want your children to learn and join if you had many hours of enrichment\, support and staff per week?\n\n\nIn this program sponsored by SPED*NET\, clinical psychologist and educational consultant Michael J. Weiss\, PhD\, will discuss some of the most important instructions your children need and how to get it covered by insurance. He will describe a curriculum aimed at children on the spectrum who have good verbal skills\, yet struggle with behavior and socializing with peers. The instruction ranges from promoting an understanding of nuanced and symbolic language (e.g.\, idioms\, fables) to following conversations and storylines (TV/movie/story reading “therapy”) and teaching about other people’s perspectives\, thoughts and feelings (called “Theory of Mind”). In addition to the instruction\, a key curriculum goal is to connect kids to socialize together\, with close staff supervision.\n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...

SUMMARY:A Parent’s Guide to Executive Functioning
DESCRIPTION:Is your child struggling with daily routines and tasks? Do simple tasks take them an excessive amount of time or often go unfinished? Are you frequently asking them to focus\, calm down\, or hurry up?\n\n\nIf so\, your child may be having difficulties with executive functions — the mental processes that enable planning\, memory\, task initiation\, completion\, and emotional regulation. These skills are crucial for independent success both in and out of school\, yet they’re often overlooked in child development.\n\n\nAt this program hosted by SPED*NET\, Jeffrey Ruggiero\, an educator with over 30 years of teaching and administrative experience in special education\, will provide valuable insights and tools to help your child thrive\, including an in-depth understanding of executive functions\, practical strategies to support your child’s development\, and hands-on activities to reinforce learning. He currently serves as associate head at the Southport School.\n\n\nFor parents of children K-8th grade. Register online.\n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...
