SUMMARY:Teacher Training: It's About Ability
DESCRIPTION:It’s About Ability: Techniques for meeting the needs of students with diverse abilities and interests \nEnsuring students with such diverse abilities and interests master the same concepts and skills is one of the many challenges teachers face. One instructional method incorporating such a philosophy is Differentiated Learning\, which allows teachers to meet the needs of students with differing abilities by changing what students learn (content)\, how they retain the information (process)\, how they demonstrate knowledge of skills (product)\, and with whom and where learning happens (learning environment). While this method of instruction sounds ideal in theory\, in practice\, differentiated instruction can be complicated by other teacher-related stressors\, such as limited time for planning and instruction\, large classes\, and limited adjunct support\, amongst others. This presentation will focus on working efficiently to recognize diverse learners and include techniques for putting differentiated instruction into practice. \nDr. Elizabeth Ener\, Ph.D\, LPC\, NCC\, RPT  Child and Adolescent Clinical Therapist \nDr. Jamie Smith Psy.D Post-doctoral Fellow in Pediatric Neuropsychology

SUMMARY:Inclusion Experience at JFGD
DESCRIPTION:JFGD is holding a hands-on experiential learning experience created by Jewish Family Service to spread awareness\, understanding and compassion about what it is like to have a special need. Participants will understand the challenges experienced by individuals with one or more special needs through a variety of interactive stations including: auditory processing\, sensory processing\, fine and gross motor skills\, speech/language skills\, reading skills – dyslexia\, and executive function – ADHD.  \nAt each of these valuable experiential programs\, facilitators discuss observations with participants and help communicate the daily challenges of individuals with special needs. In turn\, The Inclusion Experience powerfully serves to reveal the need for greater sensitivity\, compassion and better inclusive practices for the benefit of people with special needs. Students don’t have to imagine what it would be like to have a disability\, they actually experience it\, first-hand. \n  \nNote: This is a private staff event.

SUMMARY:My Hero Brother & The Other Dreamers Movie Night | Special Needs Partnership
DESCRIPTION:Join the Special Needs Partnership of Jewish Family Service for an inspirational movie night as we celebrate Special Needs Awareness Month. \nMy Hero Brother is an award-winning documentary about a group of young people with Down syndrome that embark on a demanding trek through the Himalayan mountains with their brothers and sisters. As the siblings deal with physical and emotional challenges\, unresolved conflicts come to surface and heartwarming friendships develop on the journey of a lifetime! \nFour disabled children in Israel start a journey\, on the way to fulfill their dreams. They won’t let their disabilities interrupt them\, even if they are the only ones who believe that it’s possible. \nDuring one year\, the film follows the life of 4 disabled children in a voluntary association\, the only place where they feel safe and equal. The Other Dreamers is a story of dreams that come true\, of children who fall in love\, get hurt\, dance\, compete and live their lives exactly like their non-disabled peers\, just with the addition of a wheelchair.  \nStudio Movie Grill – Royal Lane and Central Expressway \nThursday\, February 28th – Dinner at 6:30/ Movies 7:00 – 9:00 \nCall the Director of Special Needs Partnership\, Lorraine Friedman\, at 972.437.5831 or email lfriedman@jfamilyservice.org to sponsor this event or to purchase tickets. \nBUY YOUR TICKET NOW
