Create an inclusive learning environment designed for the success of every student at our education event, Social and Emotional Development for Students with Disabilities in Orange County, CA.
Systematic rewards and punishments often used by traditional school models are detrimental to student outcomes, wellbeing, academic success, sense of safety, and ability to regulate. These impacts can be amplified for students with disabilities and diverse needs. Whether the students you come in contact with have IEPS or unclassified/undiagnosed needs, Conscious Discipline knows a better way.
Over the course of two days, this education event in Orange County will help you gain the knowledge, tools and strategies necessary to create the kind of inclusive learning environments where all students can thrive. Learn how to use play, learning structures and connection to encourage the social development, emotional literacy and executive function skill development needed to live the full and connected life everyone deserves.
Join us and our experts at Social and Emotional Development for Students with Disabilities and help your students develop the resiliency they need for a lifetime of connection, regulation and success!

Elizabeth Montero-Cefalo
Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Elizabeth Montero-Cefalo is a talented trainer and speaker with 25+ years of experience working with children who present varying exceptionalities. Her classroom was recognized as a Conscious Discipline model classroom by Dr. Becky Bailey and the Miami-Dade County Public School District. Elizabeth’s commitment to Conscious Discipline and her ability to share her expertise with others led to her role as Certified Instructor. Elizabeth graduated from the University of Miami with a master's in early childhood special education.
Sarah Catherine Rhodes
Raleigh, North Carolina
Sarah Catherine has been teaching since 2010, but her introduction to Conscious Discipline occurred even earlier. While attending Meredith College, Sarah Catherine heard Dr. Bailey speak at a keynote in Raleigh. She knew immediately that she wanted to learn more, and she began practicing Conscious Discipline as a student intern. By the time Sarah Catherine had her own classroom, she already had a solid foundation in Conscious Discipline. She began seeking opportunities to attend events that would further develop her practice. Each year, Sarah Catherine has found ways to grow and stretch herself as she implements Conscious Discipline in both her classroom and personal life.More Information About This Education Event in Orange County
