Please join us for this sharing group about disabilities....





DISABILITIES SHARING GROUP



This group is for anyone (teachers, counselors, administrators) with an interest in disabilities to come together to share and learn from one another.  The group will focus on learning disabilities as well as other types of disabilities.  There will be an opportunity to hear what issues programs are dealing with in terms of disabilities, share strategies as well as to meet the facilitator, Pennie Marcus from Holyoke Community College's Office for Students with Disabilities and Deaf Services.  She is on sabbatical for the spring semester and will be working with SABES and local ABE programs on issues of disabilities.



When:  January 25, 2008 from 1-3 p.m. at Holyoke Community College, Kittredge Center, Room 302.



Facilitator:  Pennie Marcus.  She is a Learning Specialist with Holyoke Community College's Office for Students with Disabilities and Deaf Service.  Pennie will be working with SABES and local ABE programs for the Spring '08 semester.  She also hopes to visit Western Mass ABE/ESOL programs.  While she has worked with students with all types of disabilities, she has the most experience in the areas of Learning Disabilities, ADD and Aspberger's Syndrome.  Pennie is also a former ABE Program Director.
