LD Awareness Month is the perfect time to brush up on your LD terminology—join us for this webinar where we'll cover a wide range of terms.

Details:Neurodivergent learners and their caregivers often require services from a variety of specialists and navigating the path to awareness can be rather challenging. An increased understanding and recognition of the 4 learning Ds—differences, disorders, disabilities and dysfunctions—often gives caregivers and educators the awareness that they need to best support their learners in and out of the classroom. We aim to spread awareness about the various terms that practitioners use when discussing learning difficulties in order to alleviate some of the anxiety and stress you may experience and place you on the path towards your child’s success. In this webinar, our panelists will provide an overview of learning terminology as well as give perspective on learning and what typically contributes to the learning process. The webinar will consist of a 30-minute panelist discussion followed by an opportunity for attendees to directly interact with the speakers in a live Q&amp;A session.About the SpeakersThis webinar is presented by Jess Corinne, the Head of Educational Services for Learnfully.
