We offer 2 half day interactive workshops for parents in order to become sensory intelligent and empowered for effective parenting. Our workshops are small group, interactive and discussion-based to ensure enough time and opportunity for sharing. It is an experience which creates loads of “aha” moments and really gives insights and strategies that make a difference. All our parent workshop facilitators are skilled and competent therapists who are parents themselves.
