The AET Virtual Study Group is a lecture/conference call that allows you to participate in a study group–from the comfort of your home. It is a collegial meeting of educational therapists and related professionals with experts from a variety of disciplines. In the upcoming months, we will have speakers addressing issues such as ADHD and Executive Function, the college application process for LD students and Social Thinking programs. The VSG connects AET members with experts from around the country and provides an additional venue for us to connect, collaborate, and communicate.
The Virtual Study Group meets as a telephone conference call. There is no cost to you, other than your charges by your long distance carrier. When you call, be sure that you are in a quiet place and not on speakerphone. You can share this benefit with clients who may be interested in the topic. Just forward this flier to them.
If there is a topic of particular interest to you or you would like to suggest a speaker, please let us know.
