The Cedarsong Way Therapy Track
The Cedarsong Way Forest School Therapy track was developed by Molly Lannon Kenny, Erin Kenny’s sister, and a speech-language pathologist who specializes in working with kids with significant developmental, social-emotional, and behavioral challenges.
This track was created for forest school teachers or administrators who would like to open up their schools to include more children with diverse needs, or who are already serving children who require a different kind of support and would like to learn best practices for inclusion.
It is also aimed at forest school teachers who want to offer direct services to kids with disabilities, or who would like to use their outdoor program as an adjunct to other clinical services the child may be receiving.
Parents, teachers, clinicians and early education specialists of all types will also benefit from learning how and why specific techniques work, how to create goals and objectives, how to identify and measure progress and outcomes, and how to document and summarize their work for funding, interdisciplinary teamwork, and promotion.
Upon successful completion of the course, eligible attendees will receive a certificate with the designation “Forest School Therapist.”
“This program not only incorporates evidence-based therapeutic practices but also harnesses the calming influence of the outdoors. Molly and team are creating a best in class approach to support children in an emotional, mental, and physical way. Always with love and inclusion for all.”
What past participants are saying
“The Cedarsong Way Therapy Track training has been life changing for me. There are various children in my Nature School program with different learning abilities and this training has given me different perspectives and ways in which I can improve my program to provide students with a better experience. What I have liked the most so far is the parent approach – many ways of partnering with parents, working closely with them so that Nature programs not only “accommodates” children of all needs but more importantly so that all children and families thrive and feel part of a community that embraces everyone. The biggest takeaway so far is that we are all different in beautiful ways and as adults it is our responsibility to make a difference by teaching our children to honor and embrace differences of those around us. “We are all the same” does not cut it anymore because our children are so smart and see differences all around them, instead nurturing in our children from a young age the ability to appreciate and value those differences in others is one of the biggest gifts and legacy we can give this young generation.”
