DON’T MISS THE LAST SEPTA MEETING

New Location - Middle School Auditorium
 
Listen, Laugh, Give…Motivate your space!
 
Presented by Garden City’s Own:
 
Jeanne M. Stafford
Motivational Speaker 
This motivational talk is designed to empower parents in their every communiqué.  Stafford will speak specifically to meet the needs of special education parents, right here right now.  This talk will engage the audience and teach them to activate their own space using the same skills that comedy improvisers use to create scenes without a script.
 
Participants will learn to reinvent the way they perceive of themselves in most settings.  The goal is to give the parents skills to better listen and communicate to their children, teachers, family and most importantly to themselves!
 
We will conclude by “gifting” SEPTA with the information they need to continue to improve the way they reach and assist parents.  Jeanne has some fabulous ideas she can’t wait to share from her own special education travels.  Bring your ideas and contribute to this session!
