The Exceptional Parenting Program (EPP) provides a forum where parents and professionals can broaden their knowledge of issues related to raising and educating children with diverse needs, seek and exchange information in a supportive atmosphere, and access a lending library of books, magazines and recorded presentations.
特別子育て支援プログラム
様々な障害を抱える子どもを持つ家族、教育関係者や専門家に対して、講演会、ネットワーキング、子育てに関する文庫や専門書を揃えた貸出図書、録画された講演会の発信、情報交換などを通じて学びの場を提供しています。
The workshop series features six or more presentations by speakers from a variety of disciplines, and takes place in central Tokyo locations, including the Wesley Center in Minami Aoyama, between September and May. Our workshops are centered on providing insightful practical information to increase awareness and understanding of various issues associated with raising and educating a child with learning differences/diverse needs. The workshops are free of charge, but donations are greatly appreciated to support future EPP workshops.
NEW! Some workshops will be provided in three different formats: onsite, live offsite and online. Please note that some workshops will be available only for onsite.
