About the class

Beth Gonzalez-Karcs has worked as a speech language pathologist for over 24 years. She will give a talk to highlight the stories of students who have transitioned from high school, including the highs and lows of adulting. This is meant as a resource for parents with neurodiverse students, especially high school students. There will be time for questions and answers at the end of the presentation.

The Sonoma Community Center is committed to creating an accessible learning environment. If you require any special considerations(medical, physical, learning) please share them with Sean Baskin, Program Associate, by emailing him at sean@sonomacommunitycenter.org so that he can forward them to the relevant Program Director and Instructor.

About the instructor

Beth Gonzalez-Karcs 

Speech Language Pathologist

My name is Beth Gonzalez-Karcs, M.S. CCC-SLP. I am PEERS certified. I have worked as an SLP for over 24 years. I am passionate about helping students of all ages with communication, articulation and social skills. Social connections are connected to health, wellness, employability and longevity. I have extensive experience teaching social skills to neurodiverse students in a way that empowers and affirms without diminishing students’ self esteem and special, unique qualities. In my free time, I enjoy creative writing, walking my dogs and Zumba!

What is the process for cancelling my registration?

We ask that you notify us at least 10 days in advance of a class if you need to cancel your registration. You may cancel by phone or email and we will gladly offer you a refund or credit toward a future class. If you cancel with less than 10 days’ notice, we will not be able to provide refunds, due to our contractual obligations and material purchases for each class. 

Sometimes, the Sonoma Community Center has to cancel a class due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances, such as a natural disaster or health emergency. If this happens and we do not offer a reschedule date, you will be refunded 100% of your registration fee, or credit towards a future class. If we are able to offer a reschedule date but you are unable to make the new date, we will gladly offer credit towards a future class.
