The Student Mindset
Schools evaluate students on aptitudes and learning skills that are unfamiliar to their pupils: attention, organization, time management, retention and recall, initiation, and self-regulation.

Skills for the 21st Century
How can students meet the challenges of the 21st century? What do researchers say are the core competencies and life skills required for success in today’s society? This workshop will discuss the expectations of postsecondary life, important preparations for college and university success (test preparation, reading and writing skills, note taking), assistive technology, time management, and scheduling.

Parenting the Child with Executive Function Challenges
Raising a child who has deficits in executive function can be challenging and confusing. Children with ADHD and learning disabilities have average or above average intelligence, so many adults wonder why the basic tasks of turning off the television, getting ready for school, going to bed, or completing standard homework assignments are a challenge.

The Academic Tune-Up: An Individual Assessment
Each school year brings both successes and challenges to children with learning disabilities and ADHD. Students who would like to build on their strengths and address their academic weaknesses will benefit from this one-to-one personalized session with an experienced learning coach.

October is LD Month: The Right to Learn, the Power to Achieve

Helga — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 00:02:41 +0000

The goal for this awareness month is to increase national awareness of learning disabilities and stress every individual’s “right to learn, power to achieve” as well as to encourage people to respect and embrace learning differences and the creative possibilities they offer.

This grassroots campaign engages Learning Disabilities Associations at the national, provincial/territory and chapter levels, and invites individuals with learning disabilities and their families to speak openly and share their success stories using YouTube, FaceBook and Twitter.

When we support people with learning disabilities, everyone wins! Please join our team and support the right to learn and the power to achieve.

Please visit www.ldac-acta.ca to find out what you can do to make a difference.
