Rethinking Challenging Kids - Collaborative Problem Solving®(CPS) - Dr. Stuart Ablon, Director of the Think:Kids describes the general tenets of a model of care called CPS in this TedTalk.

 HBCC is proud to partner with SEAS Advocacy Solutions!

SEAS mission is to ensure that every child is receiving the program, support, and services that they require, as well as the social-emotional support they need in order to feel safe and connected to their learning. 

Academic and Behavioral success is not one size fits all. It looks different for every student. As an advocate, SEAS works collaboratively with your family to ensure that conversations with the school team are grounded in transparency and student-centered decision-making and through a Collaborative Problem Solving(CPS)® lens to best support your child. 

"EVERYBODY IS A GENIUS.  BUT IF YOU JUDGE A FISH BY ITS ABILITY TO CLIMB A TREE, IT WILL LIVE ITS WHOLE LIFE BELIEVING THAT IT IS STUPID."

~Albert Einstein

SEAS helps the special education process be less difficult and overwhelming. It is important that parents understand what qualifies your child for services under an appropriate educational process.  

Even if you are told that your child does not qualify for special education services, we can help assist you in navigating this complex system and bring "Parents & Educators Together as Allies" to maximize the potential of YOUR child.

ABOUT THIS FACEBOOK GROUP

From Janice Keene

Our Mission: To provide educational, emotional and social support to women raising exceptional children with special /additional needs. This group is a Free support and resource group. All of our speaker meetings and support group meetings are Free.

This group is specific to women who are caregivers of children with varying special, unique or additional needs. This group is ONLY for women who have children with the descriptions below, however we do accept other neurodivergent women and differently abled women on this page as a support to our mom's on This Journey for resources and personal advice.

This Journey is an active group of women who meet on a regular basis to offer educational support, fellowship, and resources to empower the challenges of parenting. We also have planed children's activities throughout the year when possible.

This is a group for children with what I call "hidden disabilitys" such a attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd), and ADD inattentive,Sensory processing or sensory integration disorder (spd), vestibular disorders, Auditory processing disorders (apd), Pandas/Pans, Oppositional defiant dosorders (odd), Ocd, Anxiety, Autism (ASD) depression, Executive function challenges, dyslexia or academic disabilities and other behavioral or mood disorders and or genetic disorders that may cause behaviors.

This group is also for Moms with children who have varying disabilities.

It can be a heartbreaking and lonely road without the support of other women going through this journey. No one should feel alone. None of us are experts, but we are all walking this path together.

"This Journey , " is a faith-friendly support group. We follow Christian principals, however you do not need to be Christian to join our group. We welcome all women!
