As part of its 10th-anniversary celebration, ESL Philippines successfully hosted the first-ever seminar for a cause in Bulacan, a pioneering event that underscores its commitment to giving back to the community. This transformative seminar united educators, specialists, parents, caregivers, and advocates in a shared mission to address challenges in early childhood development, particularly inclusivity, and developmental delays such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), speech delays, and learning disorders.
Celebrating a Decade of Advocacy and Service
Held at Baliwag, Bulacan, this landmark event was not just a learning opportunity but a heartfelt expression of gratitude to the community that has supported ESL Philippines for the past decade. It brought together over 200 participants from diverse backgrounds, including teachers striving for professional growth, parents seeking practical advice, and developmental health professionals eager to share their expertise.
The seminar featured thought-provoking talks and interactive workshops from esteemed speakers. Dr. Pauline Marie F. Camposano-Marquez shared valuable insights into early detection and intervention for speech delays and learning disorders. Dr. Robina Hao-Dy provided a comprehensive approach to navigating ASD and ADHD, while Ms. Louisse Crisostomo-Galang emphasized the importance of building partnerships between families and educators to foster inclusive learning environments.
Moreover, Mr. Carlo C. Aguilera, a dedicated Reading Specialist, focused on evidence-based strategies for supporting children with reading difficulties, underscoring the importance of tailored approaches to literacy development.
Participants also engaged in workshops on sensory integration, behavior management, and language development, leaving them equipped with actionable strategies to better support children with special needs.
