Faculty member offers lessons in child advocacy
This past summer, Barbara Hong, associate professor of education at Penn State Altoona, completed a three-part series of workshops which emphasized the need for parents to advocate for their children in order to help them succeed.
The workshops offered an overview of what to ask for including special instructions for parents of children with learning disabilities, materials and Web sites parents can use to supplement their child’s education at home, and more.
