Mix & Match Workshops
Dr. Thompson can provide workshops that include a combination
of the floowing topics, usually two or three topics in the morning
and two in the afternoon. Note that the two sets of topics for
presentations are intended for different audiences. For example,
a morning session could be devoted to topics for practitioners,
parents and teachers, while an afternoon session could be intended
for a more academic audience at the same site. In selecting topics,
allow sufficient time for a 15 minute break during each half day and for questions and audience discussion. Workshops begin at 8:30am and conclude at 3:30pm (see Schedule Workshops in the Workshlop Menu).
