Training

We provide evidence based information on how to best teach children with learning difficulties. We train parents, school staff, and a variety of service providers. Our training includes topics addressed in books authored by members of the WEG group (see Books page). 

Our training can range from one hour presentations to semester long graduate courses. We hold an annual conference, “Diamonds in the Rough,” that provides training on special needs topics for parents and professionals.

Our process

1. Contact WEG’s Executive Director, Rich Weinfeld, about your group’s training needs.
   
2. WEG conducts a needs assessment to ensure that our training matches your precise needs and budget.
3. WEG designs custom training, which may include a variety of formats including workshops and webinars. Training may also include specific follow up expectations of staff, with opportunities for observation, feedback, and coaching by WEG consultants.

SCHOOL CONSULTATION
WEG provides an assessment of a school or school district’s current curriculum, methodologies, and organizational systems.  WEG can design a plan for improvement and help train staff to implement that plan.
