The Northborough Southborough Special Education Parent Advisory Council (NSPAC) is hosting a virtual workshop, “Anxiety in Relation to Learning/Developmental Disabilities and How to Address in the IEP” presented by Neuropsychology & Education Services for Children and Adults (NESCA), on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, 7-8:30pm.
Anxiety disorders are becoming increasingly common among children and adolescents, especially in the wake of the pandemic. Given the rising numbers of affected children and adolescents, it has become increasingly important that a student’s emotional health is addressed both at home through private counseling, as well as through the provision of school-based services. When students experience a high level of unmitigated anxiety throughout the day, they are less able to learn and meet their potential. This presentation will discuss the overlap between anxiety and learning challenges and how to seek services for anxiety through the school district.
The Workshop is cosponsored by the Falmouth, Hamilton/Wenham, Hingham, North Andover, Northbridge, Northboro/Southboro, and Norwell SEPACs.
All are welcome.
