Deconstructing Barriers to Learning: The Neuropsychology of Learning Differences
Join us Wednesday,
January 23, 2019
at 6:00-7:30PM with a presentation from Dr. Alison Reuter on
the topics below. The topics will be discussed in context of all students including gifted and special needs. Children with learning differences often present with a variety of learning characteristics, and sometimes do not fit neatly into specific "diagnoses." In this presentation, we will talk about the different types of learning characteristics or challenges that are common among broader diagnoses (listed above). We will learn about different types of dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia, as well as the different types of executive functions that contribute to learning. We will also highlight the role of anxiety in undermining optimal learning, and how anxiety can co-occur and exacerbate other learning challenges.
The Neuropsychology of Learning Differences for ALL Learners including Gifted and Special Needs.
- ADHD/Executive Functions
- Learning Disabilities, including Dyslexia, Dysgraphia and Dyscalculia
- Anxiety and its impact on learning
Please refer to the flier for more details.
