Parenting Beliefs and Practices: Raising a Child with Special Needs
This workshop will focus on the relationship between parenting beliefs and behavior when raising a child with developmental disabilities such as autism, ADHD, learning and intellectual disabilities. Rather than rush to implement parenting strategies, therapists should help parents reflect, identify and discuss their beliefs. These may include beliefs about childrearing, gender, success and the meaning of disability. The discussion will include how cultural background and early experiences inform one’s beliefs.
The second part of the workshop will cover family-centered interventions to promote social-emotional functioning, self-regulation and executive function skills. The teaching-learning style will include opportunities to exchange ideas about how beliefs and practices affect parent confidence, the parent-child relationship and child and family well-being.
