Course Abstract
Supportive Communication for the Child with Special Needs is a 1-hour audio continuing education (CE) course that provides practical tips for helping parents to communicate with their child who has special needs.
Parenting a child with special needs comes with many challenges. Parents are often under pressure, not knowing what to expect or how to react and manage the behaviors their child may present. Children who have supportive and caring parents who understand their needs generally experience better outcomes, both in school and in general. In their desire to help, parents frequently look to their child’s school-based professionals for ideas on how to communicate and connect with their child. It is imperative that speech-language pathologists and other helping professionals like counselors and occupational therapists have practical ideas and skills in order to help parents do this. This course will discuss multiple practical ways to help parents communicate and connect with their child who has special needs, thereby gaining the competence they need to improve their child’s chances for success.
A course handout with slides that flow with the audio file is included.

Customer Testimonials
I felt this was an excellent review and "heads up" for those of us who have been in the field for a long time. We sometimes lose sight of what is needed. I enjoyed the information.
Concise usable information. Love this course.
The course had great information. It was broken down in a manner that was easy to follow and easy to remember.
The speaker was fantastic/explained everything in a clear and concise way/ her course content was both refreshing and new information that I was unaware of and thought of kids that I work with and enabled me to incorporate what I've learned into my therapy sessions. I loved having an outline of the course to follow and to preprint the evaluation so I could answer what I was learning as I learned it. Both of those were extremely helpful and greatly appreciated.
The examples given to explain over- and under-reactivity were clear and easy to understand and pass on to parents.
