Description:

Are you providing assistance or support to clients entering workplace environments? Perhaps you are helping someone transition from an adult basic education class to postsecondary training… Maybe you are teaching a learner who is working on the GED. Whatever the scenario, the chance that you are working with an individual with a non-apparent disability is highly likely. This one-day workshop will provide you with tools, materials, and strategies to work with individuals who have learning disabilities, attention disorders, emotional and mental health conditions, and other cognitive non-apparent disabilities. Join Nancie Payne for relevant, hands-on approaches when delivering services that support individuals and foster success.

Objectives:

• Understand the relevance of non-apparent disabilities in the delivery of workforce training, employment placement, adult education, and postsecondary education services
• Recognize the early characteristics and behaviors that pose as barriers to successful outcomes
• Learn to apply a strength-based cognitive mapping approach in the provision of services
• Employ a universal access to learning and working model for all clients
