WHO:“On the Waterbed: The Impact of Learning Disabilities on the Family”

Mr. Lavoie makes the analogy: “A family of five is akin to five people lying side-by-side on a waterbed…when one person moves, everyone feels the ripple. The same principle exists in families. When one family member is struggling, the entire family feels the impact.”

This seminar will discuss the various ways that families are effected by the child with special needs with particular emphasis on the impact on marital communication.

Among the other topics to be covered:
 Fairness
 Sibling Issues
 Social Skills
 Home/School Communication
