Practical Workshops

Learning is fun!

Joan enjoys creating workshops filled with engaging activities that promote learning for parents, health care professionals, teachers, support providers, and self-advocates. Workshops with Joan are not spectator events! Joan demonstrates the power of Universal Design for Learning to reach every type of learner. To do this, Joan designs every workshop or keynote presentation specifically for the audience. In other words, every presentation receives a personal touch so information is as practical and easy-to-use as possible.
