Join Heather Beach on Tuesday October 3, 2023, for Building Your Team
SESSION INFO:
Creating Your Child’s Team
In this session we will explore:
• Who is who (Resource teachers, learning support, EAs, OTs SLPs?)
• Allies and relationships (you and your family members, librarians, custodians, former teachers, and other parents)
• Building relationships
• Understanding your communication style, your strengths, and where you may need support (are you a peacemaker, an advocate, do you find it uncomfortable to speak up, are you good at writing letters, do you enjoy in-person talks or would rather do things in writing?)

As a provincial organization, Family Support Institute acknowledges that our work spans across all of the traditional, ancestral and unceded Indigenous territories in BC. Therefore, we respectfully honour all First Nations, Inuit and Métis people, as well as their ancestors, who have lived here and cared for these lands. It is with gratitude that we can live, learn and do our work in the province now known as British Columbia.
