Introducing SOS for Parents Audio Series
SOS is now offering help for parents through downloadable audio recordings.
We plan to cover a wide range of issues and concerns for parents of students ages 11-18. Our plan is to give you access to professionals with wisdom and expertise on topics such as advocacy, executive functioning challenges, homework assistance strategies, emotions and learning, motivation, organization, finding the right school for students with learning disabilities, college preparation, ADHD, gap year options, and more. Podcasts will range in length from 10 minutes to 60 minutes. Now you can get support without driving to a seminar or workshop!
