Dr. Peg Dawson Ed.D co-author of Smart but Scattered was a keynote speaker at a recent Parent Conference hosted by the OCDSB. Dr. Dawson has worked with thousands of children who struggle at home and in school. At the centre of their struggles are poor planning and organizational skills. She offers parents tools – an essential ‘how to manual’ to help kids get organized, stay focused and control their impulses. The Conference had a number of other interesting workshops such as: How to Help my Child Succeed Academically / Managing Emotions when Dealing with Kids / What is an IEP-Individual Education Plan/ IPRC-Identification, Placement and Review Committee?
