FamilyForward – Developmental Trauma Center

Many children with a history of abuse, neglect or other trauma struggle in school.  Whether it is a learning disability, a developmental delay, or an emotional issue, children will often find the academic and social demands of the school environment to be a challenge. Parents discuss a variety of challenges, ways to ease the transition for children as they begin a new school year, and ways to communicate effectively with school personnel in this two-week class.   Attendance for both weeks is strongly encouraged. To register, call 314.968.2350 ext. 7234 or email intake.dept@familyforwardmo.org.
