  Are you a parent of a child with autism, anxiety, or ADHD? Are you looking for support that truly sees and respects your child?

  Parents will learn how neurodivergence affects daily life, including learning, big feelings, and self-control. We’ll talk about how different therapies, such as Polyvagal Theory and DIR/Floortime, can work together in ways that fit your child, not just a diagnosis.

  Does your child communicate in ways that look different from what you expected? Are you unsure how to support their speech in a way that feels supportive?

  Join Anne Fleming Anderson, MA, CCC-SLP, Senior Speech Pathologist with the Cleveland Clinic, and Raisa Santana MA, CCC-SLP, Bilingual Clinical Speech Pathologist (Spanish/English), for a parent-friendly talk on how to support your child's unique communication needs.

  Parents will learn ways to support speech goals through connection, shared interests, and real-life moments. We’ll talk about different communication styles, including gestalt language processing, and how to move away from “one-size-fits-all” ideas about speech. Families will leave with practical, affirming, and empowering tools to support communication.

  **Spanish speaking translation and support is available for this program. 

  This program is for adults only and is presented in partnership with Lakewood Family Room and is supported by a grant from the Healthy Lakewood Foundation.

  Childcare is available for this event for ages 1-12, but registration is required.
