Presenter

Uma Vandekerkhove, Registered Psychologist

It was so affirming to learn that we are on the right track with our child and to hear other parents' questions and frustrations. For the first time, I didn't feel alone in all of this. THANK YOU for having a resource available to those not attending your school!— Parent Workshop Participant
