She will speak at 7 p.m. Sept. 28 at the Putnam Middle School Auditorium. It's free and open to the public.
Brittingham is the author of "Shrinking' Stinkin' Thinkin'," a guide to raising self-esteem in children, and "Respectful Discipline." She focuses on practical solutions for helping students be successful in both the general education and special education classrooms.
