By the end\, you’ll feel more confident guiding your child’s progress and better equipped to support meaningful\, lasting change. \n\n\n\nVisit squareonenyc.com to learn more! \n\n\n\nFee: $600 for one caregiver. 50% discount for second caregiver.

The webinar will focus on a) highlighting higher-level speaking practice that may be feasible as communication comfort has grown throughout the year\, b) creative strategies for acknowledging growth\, c) recommendations for conversations with school teams around early transition supports\, d) ideas for useful summer exposures\, and e) considerations in the weeks prior to the start of a new school year. Families should leave with new ideas and strategies to enhance end-of-year services and feel more prepared for transitioning into the new school year. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\nBrittany Bice-Urbach\, PhD \n\n\n\nDr. Bice-Urbach is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the Medical College of Wisconsin and has been working as a clinical psychologist at the Child Development Center\, a developmental clinic through Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin\, in the School Performance Program.
