RARC
Registration is open for virtual Parent Workshop Series this winter! This free workshop series is for the parents or guardians of students in Grades 7 or 8 with learning disabilities or ADHD. Registration is open until January 16th. Space is limited so we recommend registering early!
Who We Are:
We are the Regional Assessment and Resource Centre. We are funded by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities to help students with neurodevelopmental disabilities to access post-secondary education. We are located in Kingston, Ontario, however we work with students across Ontario. We provide support in a few different ways, one of which is offering transition programming. We have transition programs available for students in Grade 12 (check out our website for more information) and we also have programming for students in Grades 7 and 8. The earlier we can support students with neurodevelopmental disabilities – the more likely they are to be prepared for the transition to college and university.
We have been running the STEPS (Successful Transitions from Elementary to Post-Secondary) program in Kingston for over 15 years, offering workshops to students (and their parents) in Grades 7 and 8 with learning disabilities and ADHD. Because of the nature of the programming, it has been restricted to in-person programming offered in Kingston, Ontario. Over the past few years, we have been working to expand our programming across Ontario. For the STEPS program, we have done that in two ways. We have created an 8-session curriculum that schools can use to run student programming in their own school (contact us for more information about this), as well as offering parent programming as a stand-alone workshop series. This winter we will deliver it over 3 virtual evening sessions.
The Parent Workshop Series:
This virtual series is open to parents of students in Grades 7 or 8 in Ontario with learning disabilities or ADHD. Please note that this programming will be offered in English.
The goal of the sessions is to provide parents:
- information and support to understand their child’s experience and potential more fully
- skills to navigate the school system
- ability to provide timely and targeted support
- support to know they are not alone
There is no cost to the program, however attendance at all three sessions is required. These sessions will run on the following Wednesday evenings from 6:00 – 8:00 pm EST:
- January 28th
- February 4th
- February 11th
Parents/guardians can be complete their registration directly using the following link:
