Married with Special-Needs Children: A Couples Guide to Keeping Connected

Friday, March 5th (6 p.m. – 9 p.m.) and Saturday, March 6, (8 a.m. – 4 p.m.)

Dr. Laura E. Marshak and Ms. Fran P. Prezant, the authors of "Married with Special-Needs Children," are combining their years of experience working with disability and family issues in order to conduct a workshop developed specifically for couples raising children with special needs. Although the main focus is strengthening couples' relationships, the workshop will address other aspects of coping with family life that also greatly impact couples. Participants will leave the workshop with many new ideas and a range of practical strategies to use at home to create marital change without getting overwhelmed.
