We Invite you to Create a Seminar
Join Zion Preparatory Academy of Seattle, the Waldorf School of Seattle, Tumwater ESD, Spokane ESD, and the growing list of agencies who receive specialized HANDLE training for their staff.  The HANDLE Institute can bring programs to your group or tailor educational programs and clinical services to suit your situation.  We strive to meet the individualized needs of families and communities across the nation.

If you live in the Pacific Northwest, the vicinity of Atlanta, or the Tri-State Area (Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey) and would like to arrange for a presentation or training for your agency or group, please call the Institute. We will try to accommodate your request.

If you cannot attend a community information night, we can offer you an in-home version: a 75-minute introduction on audio CD. The CD comes with handouts that accompany and illustrate portions of the material covered. Please contact the Institute if you would like to order a copy – the CD’s are free, with a $5 shipping and handling charge
