Tapahtuman tiedot
Welcome to a new event of Adoption Support Group Finland, the English-speaking community of adoptive parents and waiting adopters in Finland!
The group was started to support and empower international adopters living in Finland, with the help of the Finnish Association of Adoptive Families Adoptioperheet ry. The group hosts regular events to support adoptive parents. If you cannot join the event in person, there is possibility to participate remotely via Skype (see below).
All adoptive parents or adopters in the wait living in Finland are most welcome!
This event’s central topic is “Special Needs and School”. Our visiting speaker will be Leena Liusvaara, Rehtori, KT, Ressun peruskoulu, Principal, PhD, Ressu Comprehensive School. Contents of the presentation will include how schools in Finland support children with special needs, how teachers and parents can team up for inclusive education, and how the school can help support an additional mother tongue beside Finnish language.
