This webinar is for everyone who wishes to FEEL GOOD and to share this with others. It is for anyone who may be struggling with emotional or physical challenges including and most importantly FEAR.  This seminar is for any person who wishes to create the next steps in their lives on purpose rather than by default. We can all manage what we perceive to be “suffering" in new ways. We can all remember who we are and draw upon that magic.  We can all find freedom from that feeling of unease or generalized state of dissatisfaction. We can all look carefully at the conditioning and programmed patterns in our world that keep us tethered to our pain.  We can all draw closer to an understanding that as we awaken to ourselves and our own authentic nature we have the power to become what it is we desire.

Participants will be able to: 

1. Know consciousness and why it is necessary for authentic and enhanced communication.

2. Explain how individual consciousness drives our behavior and impacts communication competence and a generalized sense of satisfaction and well-being.

3. Identify what role emotions play in the process of personal development and recovery.

4. Know how to become an active creator on your own healing journey. 

5. Discover how to contribute to a new paradigm of recovery and personal well-being with the clients you serve.

The roles and responsibilities of SLPs, OTs, PTs, educators, and administrators have changed greatly over the last several decades. Evolution will continue as our understanding of the needs of children with disabilities expands; as the impact of impairments on learning performance is more clearly defined; and as methods for delivering intervention services improve. While school-based SLPs, OTs, PTs, and BCBAs still function as specialists, we can no longer implement our programs in isolation from the rest of the education system. Our intervention services must be effective and an integral part of the total educational program for students with disabilities. This webinar discussion brings a fresh approach to thinking about school-based intervention services. Ten critical signs (characteristics) of quality and effective service delivery programs are defined and briefly discussed. Participants are invited to consider each characteristic from the perspective of their own discipline, role, school organization, population, goals, and service delivery program. Join us and take your first step by forming an action plan for analyzing and strengthening your own program.

Participants will be able to: 
1. Define 10 characteristics of effective, school-based intervention services.
2. Identify the strength of those characteristics in their own program.
3. Create an action plan for building a quality program.
