Have you ever wondered about how children from multiracial backgrounds develop their racial identity?  Please join us in welcoming Dr. Ricia Weiner, School Psychologist, who will share valuable information with families about the stages and factors that impact the development of identity in multiracial children. Dr. Weiner comes to us from Arlington Public Schools in Arlington, VA where she has practiced as a school psychologist for over 11 years. In this exciting session, Dr. Weiner will review current theories, explain and dispel myths and inaccuracies, help participants understand external influences in multiracial identity development and discuss the impact of adoption and exposure to multiple languages on this population.  Participants will learn specific factors that support successful and adaptive multiracial identity development.
