Advocating for Your Child’s Medical Needs

Virtual Medical MyTime

About this event

Are you a parent or carer of a child with disability, developmental delay, or autism who has medical needs? Do you find it challenging to advocate for your child's care at school or childcare?

Join our peer group discussion to share your experiences and learn from other parents who understand the unique challenges you face. We'll discuss what strategies families are using for effective communication with educators to ensure proper medical care during school hours. As well as adapting learning environments to suit your child's needs. There will be an opportunity to discuss your successes, obstacles, and questions in a supportive, understanding environment. Together, we can empower each other to be strong advocates for our children's education and well-being!

This event is facilitated by Pam
