RESOURCES

Today my husband and I went to "Maximizing Every Moment: A Parent Training Conference" put on by The Brent Woodall Foundation.  Our initial reason for wanting to go was to learn about the ARD process and obviously to learn more information and resources on helping Sam.  Let me say it was FANTASTIC.  Thank you Tracy and everyone at BWF for doing what you do and helping Sam and so many kids out there like him.  Instead of giving a play by play of the conference I have compiled a list of resources that I was able to gain from The Brent Woodall Foundation website, the conference and various places.  I hope that you find something helpful!  I will update this list periodically =).
