Program Idea - Erasing Myths, Discrimination, and Violence

Name of Program: Erasing Myths, Discrimination and Violence: Helping our students achieve in safety and free from labels, danger and fear

Presenter: Michele M. Paiva, Author, International syndicated writer former legal educational book advocate, "Mom"
Contact Information: 484-574-3795 mmpaiva@mac.com

Fee for Program: Free

Program Description: The program is twofold. The program helps parents of K-12 and College students to best communicate with schools and to best advocate for their child in a way that is non-confrontational where the goal is not to "win" but to work together in the best interest of the child.
The other aspect is to help those who have or may have a learning disabled, gifted, or talented child OR any child to achieve their abilities without ceilings and to help parents do so in a way that is economical and proactive.
It would be fantastic if I could bring my teens and have a second room where parents who can't afford babysitting could have children watched (school age/elementary) even if that meant my teens are in the book areas with the children as a helper.
I want this to be easy for parents - they have enough on their plates!

Length of Program: One hour - 90 Minutes

Preferred Audience Size: 20-50 works well. More is always fine.

Presenter Requirements: Table for books (if books for sale are allowed)
