When: Tuesday, April 25, 11 am – 12 pm ET
Where: Zoom
Cost: $25 for individual ACA members; $40 for non-members
After COVID, we have all seen the impact on the children in our care. Students that never showed anxiety or dysregulation are now showing impact. Further, children that were already on our radar seemed harder than ever to support.

In this session, you will learn:
