Participants will engage in hands on practice methods to simplify daily routine, reduce sensory overload, avoid meltdowns, increase social interaction, and transform the classroom setting to maximize student/teacher engagement.

This interactive workshop will provide young adults with powerful life lessons on overcoming the mental barriers of abuse/neglect and becoming the creative active force of personal change in their lives.
