Parent Workshop Series

We know that much of the success of a child's development depends on the fulfillment of their parents' roles. And arguably,
no one has a tougher job than the parent of a child with a disability. These parents need all the help and support they can get. This is why we have set up the Parents Workshop Series.
Through this series, we provide lectures, demonstrations, and workshops geared towards parents and caretakers of children with disabilities.

Parents Workshop Series


Topics include nutrition, maternal health (for prevention), childhood development, parenting issues for special needs children, and more. The workshops are held throughout the year and are offered to support parents and caretakers of children with disabilities and others in order to help prevent disabilities.
