SUMMARY:GUEST SPEAKER! - What is a Learning Disability?
DESCRIPTION:What is a Learning Disability?\nYou will learn what a learning disability (LD) is\, how LD are diagnosed\, and how parents can advocate for accommodations and interventions. \nDo you have a child affected by learning disabilities? Are you curious about the assessment process and the different ways you can advocate for your child?\nParents of children with learning disabilities can support and advocate for their children more successfully when they have a solid understanding of what learning disabilities are and how they impact their child’s functioning in and out of school. There is no single definition of a learning disability and there are several terms that are used to describe these learning differences. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Event \nIn this lecture Michele will go over: \n·Different types of learning disabilities and how they differ from other developmental disabilities. \n· How learning disabilities are diagnosed. \n· The kinds of information typically included in psychoeducational assessments. \n·The difference between interventions\, modifications\, and accommodations for students with learning disabilities. \n\nAbout our speaker: \nMichele Pentyliuk\, M. Ed.\, is a Registered Psychologist and Certified Teacher working in private practice in Edmonton as a clinician and the managing partner of North Land Counselling Group. The focus of her practice is on identification of – and interventions for – individuals who encounter challenges within educational environments. Early intervention regarding literacy learning is a particular interest. Michele has presented workshops to parents\, professionals\, and students throughout Canada on a wide range of topics related to learning and learning differences. She has provided strategy instruction to individuals\, small groups\, and large audiences at all educational levels. As a volunteer with the Learning Disabilities Association of Alberta\, she was part of the team that developed the Reading Readiness Screening Tool and the Right to Read intervention program. Michele has also developed various learning tools and apps including Alberta’s Learner’s Licence Prep Kit. \n\n*Tickets are free on Eventbrite here; however\, we gratefully accept donations from those who are able to help. Every donation goes towards helping individuals affected by ADHD. If you would like to donate there is an option to do so on the ticket page.
