Advocacy Workshops

The Connection Association for Children and Adults with Learning Disabilities (CACLD) is holding a series of ten educational workshops for parents and community-based agency professionals on Effective Advocacy Skills. The goal of the ten sessions is to provide the knowledge and skills necessary for attendees to advocate more effectively in obtaining an appropriate education for the child with a learning disability (LD) and/or an Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD).

Instructors for the sessions are from the State Department of Education, Connecticut Parent Advocacy Center (CPAC), CACLD, and professionals in private practice. Professional staff and facilitators will bring their practice knowledge and skills from the field into each session.

Effective Advocacy workshops will meet from 10 am to 1 pm at CACLD, 25 Van Zant Street, East Norwalk, on consecutive Tuesdays from September 21 to November 30.

Registration fees range from $200 to $350 for the entire series. Full and partial scholarships are available to those who otherwise could not attend. For information and registration information, contact CACLD at 203-38-5010 or visit www.CACLD.com.
