Programs for Exceptional Children and Teens
This six-week program is designed to assist children, ages 4-7, and their parents to understand and apply the 55 Concepts written by Michael Cavallaro.
The 55 Concepts are practical tools that are designed to help us understand the how's and why's to our own and others' behaviors. Click here for more information (will open a PDF flyer advertising the program. Adobe Reader is required to view this document.)
Learn that you are in control of yourself, your feelings and your behaviors. YOU are responsible for YOU!
- Learn to understanding misunderstandings. For example, have you ever laughed at a joke, but start to feel like the story is taken too far? Everyone else is still joking, but all of a sudden you take it personally and get angry. You will learn why this happens.
- Discuss emotional situations and learn to resolve them without fighting.
- Learn to make logical, rational, reasonable decisions.
- Learn to be aware of your responses to others. Reacting vs. acting.
- Work on being present and grounded.
- Learn to clarify things that are too complicated or not understood by saying “I don't understand.” Learn how to have things said in a way that you understand.
- Learn that when a parent (or anyone for that matter) is yelling at you, it's about them, not you. Learn to keep your cool and not get mad.
- Learn why privileges are taken away. This includes understanding and accepting consequences.
- Learn to “get inside your body.” This technique will help you understand why you are not here in the moment.
- Are you playing games to get something? Figure out what you need and then express it in a way that is honest.
- Learn how to feel and understand your feelings.
- Know when you are seeing the truth or making up stories in your head.
- Learn why worrying about the unknown doesn't get you anywhere and what to do about it.
- Learn to recognize what you are afraid of, and look at it, so you can see it clearly in order to change your behavior.
- Learn that you are not your behaviors and why.

Conscious Teens is about learning to make choices from your intuition and heart. This, in turn, will allow you to live each day effortlessly. To do this, you need to possess an inner strength and follow your intuitive self.
Your life is dependent upon the choices you make. Have you ever let fear guide you? When you let fear make choices for you, you are choosing the path that appears safer, but limits you in the end. When you make choices from the heart and your intuition, it opens you up to your real potential.
Conscious Teens is about learning to manifest the things that you want out of life! Our goal is to lead you to your own truth and gifts, not ours or anybody else's. It's about opening the door to communicate with your body and its energy. Thoughts have energy. What is first created in thought is later manifested in life. When we don't listen to our intuition, the energy goes into our subconscious, causing emotional pain and sometimes even physical illness. Not living by our inner knowing will bring unnecessary suffering and confusion. Conscious Teens is about bringing forth what you already have inside of you and listening to your own energy and your own body's language.

Vocational Mentoring
A program that assists Young Adults (Teens/College) with invisible challenges in search of employment. Teamwork Wins teaches young adults basic interviewing skills and what they need to know to go out and find a position that is perfect for them. We also assist/coach/mentor these young adults in retaining these positions, to become aware of their special talents and, most importantly, to become their own self-advocates.
We strive to help give those in need a piece of the American Dream!
