Do you notice your child is struggling but are not sure why? Is the school telling you things are fine, but you know they aren't? This webinar helps parents recognize what's actually happening with their child before they end up in a frustrating cycle of interventions that aren't targeted to the real issue.
Dyslexia is the most common learning disability, yet it's frequently missed or misidentified, especially in the early school years. Join Moderator Laura Sullivan, S.E.L.F. Staff Attorney and Director of Legal Aid, along with expert panelists including Director of Innovation Lab at Winston Preparatory School Elizabeth Mendelsohn, M.A., Director of Research & Instruction at Eagle Hill School, Dr. Christy Brockhausen, and Speech Language Pathologist and Literacy Expert Dr. Tara Pagliaro for this informative discussion.
