Whether you are a practice owner who hires therapists, a therapist hired by a private practice, a home care agency, or hospital, or a therapist who holds themselves out to the public as an independent contractor, understanding what these classifications really mean is vital and has important ramifications for both parties. Let's take this issue out of the gray matter and separate fact from fiction.
Webinar includes a handout, copy of the powerpoint, and a copy of the worksheet - 10 steps to become an Independent Contractor.
Take a look at what I was just astounded to receive below. At first I noticed that it is from the the UK, nothing against them, I'm half Brit! However, I do believe other countries other than the US been heavily involved in either trying to help our autistic children with good intentions tho without any evidence that I know of, wanting to teach our SLPs &/or teachers grammar courses when they themselves don't even know the correct definition, just trying to monetize on its behalf.- bc what I'm going to show you can't be good for any child nonethelss a child on the spectrum. www.activeautismtv.com Presented by the Connecticut Branch of the International Dyslexia Association, the astounding author of Overcoming Dyslexia Dr. Sally Shawitz is hosting: A Family Literacy Forum on Featuring Keynote Speaker, Dr. Sally Shaywitz, distinguished Professor and Co-Director of the Yale Center for Dyslexia and Creativity, and author of the widely acclaimed national best-seller, Overcoming Dyslexia: A New and Complete Science-Based Program for Reading Problems at Any Level. Don’t miss this important family event highlighting the work of Dr. Sally Shaywitz -- including a viewing of her HBO movie The Big Picture: Rethinking Dyslexia -- also featuring a panel discussion on dyslexia in Connecticut, and a resource fair. Additionally, education graduate students will be conducting free literacy screenings throughout the morning. My personal opinion is that Overcoming Dyslexia is the best text for students dealing with & learning about Dyslexia. The HBO documentary was moving on and should be mandatory in low level functioning/graduating schools.
