Free Parent Workshops
These practical workshops are put together with parents in mind, but teachers and other educators are welcome to attend. The purpose of the workshops is to:
- Provide a definition for a learning disability as opposed to a learning difficulty
- Identify the different types and characteristics of the six learning disabilities
- Provide a checklist to tell if a child has dyslexia
- List successful strategies to use for spelling and comprehension
- Give ideas to parents on how to choose the right school for their child
- Take parents through assistive technology programs and apps that will help and
- Display a list of websites, many of which are free, that will assist parents to help their children who have a SLD in learning how to learn.
A booklet entitled Unpacking Specific Learning Disabilities and Discovering Assistive Technology To Help is available at the workshops for $12.
