Fountainhead Montessori School 

Fountainhead Montessori Schools Educational Philosophy Dr. Maria Montessori revolutionized education with her dynamic theories, which are the basis for Fountainhead’s educational philosophy. Each child is an individual accorded the respect due to every person. At the same time, children are not miniature adults; instead they think and learn in ways unique to their special time in life. Fountainhead Montessori provides an environment for children to literally create themselves through purposeful activity. Children age 18 months to 6 years old experience and learn through all of their senses. Everything is hands-on. When activity is purposeful, developmentally appropriate, and, above all, fun, learning is joyful.

The In’s and Outs of IEP’s
With Dr. Rebecca Hawley, Special Ed Law Advocate&amp; Child Development Specialist

This event is a must for parents of teens and young adults who have IEP’s (Individual Education Programs) or for those who are hoping to get one for their struggling child.

In conversation with Family Sanity Founder Lisa Scimens, Dr. Hawley will discuss: &nbsp;Is it ever too late to get an IEP?

How do I get a neuropsych evaluation?&nbsp; What if I can’t pay for it?
How do I get my school district to pay for a special school or a therapeutic program or an RTC?
Does my child’s IEP continue when they go to college?
What are my rights as a parent?

(This event will be recorded and can be replayed as a Family Sanity Podcast in the near future.)Tickets: www.familysanity.org
