Five Counties Children's Centre presents Spring into Learning Series

This event features guest speakers Adam White, a former Five Counties client whose presentation "Seeing the Ability, Not the Disability, in Every Person" will share his experiences growing up with cerebral palsy, and how the support he received from his parents and at Five Counties helped him realize that anything was possible, local educator and best-selling author Adelle Purdham, who will lead a workshop in which she will share her own journey as mother to a child with Down syndrome, discuss how to talk about disability, explore the concepts of ableism and allyship, and support participants in reclaiming the narrative about their child's disability, and Five Counties Occupational Therapist Ashley Parsons, who will introduce the F-Words, an evidence-based framework that focus on six key areas of a child's health and well-being. Lunch and snacks will be provided. Open to families with children with disabilities and professionals working with individuals with disabilities.
