Accommodations are alterations in the way tasks are presented that allow children with disabilities to complete the same assignments as other students. Accommodations are easy to implement and can increase positive teacher-student interaction, while decreasing problem behavior.
   
Important: Due to space limitations, prior to registration is required.
Please call 516-983-7008 or email dsaf03@gmail.com to register to attend.
