[Vancouver] Mental Health and Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Why Technology is So Important! (F2F)

*** READ THE FOLLOWING EVENT DESCRIPTION AND INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU REGISTER FOR THE EVENT.***

Workshop description:

This professional learning opportunity will provide participants with a deeper understanding of primary disabilities associated with neurodevelopmental disorders and the factors associated with childhood mental illness. It will further highlight the protective factors that educators can encourage and support through the use of technology in order to develop a school culture where children with divers-abilities can engage fully. Most importantly, participants will understand the significance of the work that they do and the impact it has on decreasing risk for development of secondary disabilities like childhood mental illness, alcohol and drug problems, disrupted school experience, employment problems and trouble with the law.
