I
had the honor of representing The Wellness Connection at the annual
Accessibility Summit in McLean, VA this April. When I received the
request to
talk about my book: Homework
- A Parent’s Guide to Helping Out Without Freaking Out, I
initially wondered how my techniques would translate to an audience of
parents with children who have significant disabilities.
How
did it go? Fantastic! I was relieved to see that the challenges we all
face as parents are universal. We all struggle with keeping our cool,
dealing
with unmotivated kids, and being the best leader possible. If you are
interested in a free chapter of Homework, send me an email at neil.mcnerney@wellnessconnectionllc.com.
I would be happy to send it your way.
I was very happy to be joined by my coauthor of The
Don’t Freak Out Guide to Parenting Kids with Asperger’s. Sharon
Fuentes, a local South Riding mom blogger, was a huge hit, bringing
tried and tested techniques on increasing school cooperation and student
motivation. Sharon has also agreed to
begin a parent support group for kids with special needs, particularly
those on the autism spectrum. If you are interested in getting your name
on the list for this group, give us a call at 703-327-0335.
