National Family Literacy Day Family Literacy Day® is a national awareness initiative created by ABC Life Literacy Canada in 1999 and held annually on January 27 to raise awareness of the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family. January 27, 2019 is the 20th Anniversary of Family Literacy Day! Taking time every day to read or do a learning activity with children is crucial to a child’s development, improving a child’s literacy skills dramatically, and can help a parent improve their skills as well.

Online Autism Training Program – Now available for parents
The Autism Learning Partnership Branch of EECD (Education & Early Childhood) is pleased to inform you that the online autism training program, ASD and Behavioural Interventions: An Introduction for School Personnel – Access for Parents/Guardians, will now be available at no cost to all parents and guardians of school-aged children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in New Brunswick. Although this program was designed to meet the needs of educational personnel within the school setting, parents and guardians will also benefit from access to a slightly modified version of this online training program. Enrolled parents/guardians will have access to online modules pertaining to the basic concepts of ASD, the impact of ASD on learning, as well as the interventions that aim to address the skill deficits associated with ASD. These modules will help parents gain an understanding of the characteristics of ASD and offer them initial training in the evidenced-based interventions being used by school personnel that support learners with ASD. Parents will then be better equipped with the tools to further understand, support and actively participate in their child’s intervention. Online registration will take place between January 9-31, 2019 and will be done through the EECD website. The course will begin on February 7, 2019. Also note that the next period of online registration for the parents of preschool-aged children is from February 6- 18, 2019. Parents who are interested in enrolling can click on the following link: http://asdtsa.nbed.nb.ca/ . If this is not a convenient time, note that enrollment will be possible at another time in the upcoming year. Updates will be provided through the Department website.
