Over the years, Dr. Jed Baker has become the “go to” specialist for understanding the social needs of children with difficulties managing social interactions and the intricacies of social awareness. likewise, Montgomery Academy has become the “go to” program to see theory in practice in the school setting. With a team of specialists, Montgomery Academy helps children develop social skills and manage emotion without the use of traditional behavior modification programs, which lack generalization of skills and often fail our children. We, at Montgomery Academy, are very pleased to be able to support our friend, Dr. Jed Baker, in the release of his newest work “No More Meltdowns”, and his upcoming series of workshops for parents and professionals. As a very generous gesture in reciprocating this relationship, Dr. Baker has offered a deep discount on the cost of attending his Livingston workshop on April 27th, 2012, for all of Montgomery Academy’s friends and families.
If you are interested in attending at a reduced fee, please register online using the discount code MONTGOMERY for up to $50 off of the original registration cost.
