We at Alphabet Therapy
have the collective goal of making sure every child that needs our therapy can receive it. We have outlined below the basic
costs of sending our therapists to your area for workshops to teach other's Alphabet Therapy. We try to be as flexible
and understanding as possible and would love to answer any further questions you might have!
Workshop
Packages: Breakdown of Costs for Standard Two-Day
Workshop = $1625*** ***(NOTE:
This total is an appx. total. Workshops could be more or less depending on location and involvement. Please contact your local
Alphabet Therapist to have a workshop priced in your area) (September 29, 2007)
We
have structured the workshop around three children with Angelman syndrome, each of whom will get two ABCT sessions per day,
observed by all the trainees.
Each day = 9 hours
Includes:
12 sessions for three children (4 sessions each) Start-Up Kit Materials which
the child keeps
Q &A
Discussion sessions Workshop
organizers are responsible for arranging facilities with adequate seating, restrooms and refreshment areas. Depending
on the number of attendees, this could be in a private home, a church, a school, or a hotel. There will need to be
a separate area where the children can play and relax when they are not participating in sessions.
Ideally, the workshop participants would all
eat lunch together, and this meal should be arranged each day by conference organizers.
Workshop organizers are also responsible for food, lodging and travel costs
for therapists. Our therapists are amenable to economic options and will stay in private homes if that is more convenient
for organizers. So travel costs could range from $0-$400 per therapist, food costs could range from $0-$200 per therapist
and lodging costs could range from $0-$400 per therapist.
