Learning disabilities are neurologically based and can have significant impact on a child or adolescent's academic performance. However, it's important to understand that learning disabilities don't affect school performance exclusively--they have an impact on other aspects of children's lives as well, affecting their success in relating to peers, participating in sports, and successfully managing activities at home. In this workshop, we'll explore learning disabilities in depth, focusing on their impact on family life, peer interactions, and social skills. You'll learn how to help children and adolescents build on their strengths and compensate for their weaknesses. We'll also discuss how to recognize and treat disabilities and conditions that often are joined with learning disabilities, including language disabilities, sensory processing disorder, AD/HD, depression, anger control, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
