Parent Alliance for Learning and Support (PALS) Training is coming to the New Braunfels Group! PALS is a program from Brighton Center that is dedicated to empowering parents and professionals with knowledge of special education law. Through the DSASA, you will attend 3 PALS sessions where each participant learns how to communicate effectively, understands the state and federal laws governing special education, and learns to navigate the most appropriate education for your child. You will also be able to attend 2 ARD clinics which offer information to parents in a group setting. Learning about one specific topic, this will assist parents with any questions regarding a specific diagnosis or disability. After attending all 5 sessions you will receive 1 and a half years of free ARD support from Brighton.
