2/4 Webinar: Tech as a Tool: A Practical, Safety-First Workshop for Families & Care Teams
This webinar is for families in Wisconsin who are looking for phones and apps for their children who have disabilities that can be used safely. They are working on specific phones and apps for youth with disabilities to help protect them and guide them with social interactions and communication.

In this virtual workshop, Bark and Turn Around Parenting will help families, caregivers, and the agencies/organizations that support them reframe tech as a tool that can be taught, modeled, and managed. Together they'll cover simple, realistic strategies for setting expectations, supporting behavior, and making devices safer, without turning your home into a constant power struggle.

For questions on the webinar you can email Kim at kim.lynes@bark.us

Does your child with a disability have a sibling aged 3-5? Order your free SibKit for them.

Siblings begin their caregiving journey early—often before anyone realizes how much they give. During National Family Caregivers Month and this season of giving, we want to support those first steps.

Our FREE SibKits are designed for the early years of the sibling journey, filled with fun activities and helpful resources to nurture connection and understanding.

👉 Request your FREE SibKit here: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/4g9rn47/lp/62cc0619-82a4-45c2-9136-a3e216dfff27
Celebrate the amazing siblings who give so much! 🎁
