The goal of Rush NeuroBehavioral Center's
(RNBC) outreach programs is to create a sophisticated community where
children with Brain-Based learning and behavior problems will be
understood and celebrated.
RNBC continually develops new outreach
initiatives to meet the needs of children with neurobehavioral
disorders and the needs of their families and schools.
Further, RNBC customizes lectures, in-service presentations,
and school partnerships to fit the focus of community and
professional groups.
Parent Connections
Parents and children with neurobehavioral disorders often face
many challenges unique to having children with special needs. While
a supportive friend or sympathetic family member is always appreciated,
it can be helpful to talk to others in similar circumstances.
That's why parent connections was formed. Parent connections is
an opportunity to :
- Participate in an informal, parent-led group comprised of other parents.
- Share ideas on what has worked for you and your child
- Benefit from the experiences and suggestions of others
- Discuss issues or concerns you may have about your child
- Recieve support and network with other parents
