Parent & Community Education
Tools to Help Increase Your Knowledge about Children and Youth with LD & ADHD
Our Parent & Community Education team bring knowledge, expertise, practical strategies, and humour to our wide range of workshops, both in person and online. Continually evolving to reflect current research and to meet the needs of our community, we have a wide range of content to engage parents and interested community members in appealing, meaningful, and practical learning opportunities. Children with learning and attention issues can be successful, particularly when they are surrounded by adults who understand them!
Who can attend a Parent & Community Workshop? Any adult who is interested in learning more about Learning Disabilities and ADHD is welcome to register.
