Workshops and Trainings
Individual Matters hosts a variety of workshops and trainings at our beautiful Grand Junction office and other locations throughout western Colorado. Price varies by topic, length, and location – please contact us to find out how we can support your organization.
Learning About Learning – Annual Symposium
Our premier event is the annual Learning About Learning Symposium, which brings together educators, clinicians, and parents with a focus on child education and development. The format includes lecture, hands-on activities, and interactive discussion and practice. Coffee and a light lunch provided. Follow us on social media for information about the next LAL symposium.
Learning About Learning Parent Seminars
Every month we host our Learning About Learning Parent Seminar to provide information about a specific topic related to learning, parenting, child development, and navigating school processes. This is a small-group format that allows parents to share resources and get questions answered. These are typically scheduled in the evenings at our Grand Junction office. Follow us on social media for information about the next LAL seminar.
