From Overwhelmed to On It: A Parenting Expo

From Overwhelmed to On It: A Parenting Expo.  Parenting a child who learns differently can be both rewarding and overwhelming. You might find yourself asking questions like: How can I help my child stay organized? What do these test results really mean? How do I prepare my teen for college? If you’ve ever felt unsure of where to turn for guidance, my parenting expo focused on learning differences is the perfect place to start.

My expo brings together Forgan Educational experts and educators to offer you real-world strategies and support for your child ranging from third to twelfth grade. From managing executive functioning challenges to decoding neuropsychological testing, the five sessions are designed to turn confusion into clarity. The five sessions you can choose from are:

Session 1: Routines, Regulation, Results: Executive Functioning at Home and School (Chase Burkart, Ed. S.)

Session 2: The Advocacy Advantage: From Confusion to Clarity in Special Education (Megan Weiss, Ed.S.)

Session 3: How High Schoolers with Learning Differences can Prepare for College (Peggy Forgan, M. Ed.)

Session 4: From Diagnosis to Action: Turning Neuropsychological Test Results into Real World Support (Kathryn Morton, Ed.S.)

Session 5: Unlocking Strengths: Strategies for Raising Children with ADHD Through a Positive Lens (Jim Forgan, Ph.D.)

One of the biggest advantages of attending? Connection. You’ll meet other parents who share similar challenges and triumphs. Knowing you’re not alone can be incredibly powerful. Plus, networking with professionals and fellow parents often leads to resources you didn’t even know existed.

The expo sessions are tailored to meet you where you are. For example, if you’re navigating the special education system, you’ll gain practical advocacy tips to make your voice heard. If you have a high schooler with learning differences, you’ll walk away with a roadmap to help them transition to college with confidence.

Another key focus is strength-based parenting and learning to see ADHD and other learning differences not just as challenges, but as opportunities to unlock your child’s unique gifts. Sessions like “Unlocking Strengths” help reframe your perspective and offer tools for positive parenting.

In just one day, you’ll gather information it might take months to research on your own. Whether you’re new to the journey or deep in the trenches, this expo is designed to equip, empower, and encourage. Investing a few hours in this event could transform the way you support your child for years to come.
