Central FL Parent Center

Training Presentations

 photo: presentation easel

All of our "in-person" presentations are available to groups who request them AT ABSOLUTELY NO COST. 
We will bring our own equipment, helpful handouts,
and everything that we need to present our program.

 

All of our presentations are available in Spanish also.

 

As you will see, most of our presentations are
designed to fit within an hour-and-a-half to two-hour time slot.  For conference events with shorter
breakout sessions, we would prefer to break our presentations into two parts, however, if a shorter session is needed, we can, of course, accommodate.


 

Please scroll down to see our list of available in-person presentations.

Getting Over the Wall

Communicating in the IEP

Both parents and educators report that I.E.P. meetings are some of the most stressful events of each school year.  Why?  Why would a meeting which generally only takes place once each year cause such anxiety?  This fun and interactive workshop examines the IEP experience from both sides of the table and explores proactive solutions for positive communication and collaborative results.
