PTA meeting to features well-regarded Pediatric Occupational Therapy Team

The Shoreline Special Needs PTSA is excited to welcome guest speakers Rosemary White and Alek Adams at its Wednesday, January 24 meeting.

Many families in the Shoreline area and beyond have benefited from White's physical and occupational therapy practice. The pair will present on child and caregiver relationships, including how to tailor interactions based on your child's sensory and motor profile and stay present in the moment.

White is an Occupational Therapist who brings in her work in Neurodevelopmental Therapy, Sensory Integration and DIR Floortime. Adams is a Child and Family Therapist who studied at Antioch and brings Family Systems Therapy into her work with children and their caregivers. She also has worked in homes and schools embracing the DIR Floortime Philosophy in interactions in these settings.

This month's meeting is in the Highlander Room at the north end of the Shoreline Center, 18560 1st Ave NE. Social time starts at 6:30pm. At 6:45pm Shoreline School Superintendent Rebecca Miner will explain the district levy to be voted on during the February special election. A short business meeting will follow at 7pm, with the presentations at 7:30pm.

Attendees are also asked to consider bringing a white elephant item to donate for the evening's raffle (tickets $1) and / or gently used books to donate for the chapter to resell, with proceeds benefiting chapter programs.
