The Learning Disabilities Association
is pleased to present this Workshop for Parents and Professionals
“This is What it Must be Like”
Guest Speaker: Simmy Zaret
Simmy
Zaret has worked as an educator in both the school and public health
system, and has taught special education in Toronto for over 14 years.
This
workshop will dispel the myths and provide a concrete overview of some
of the most common learning difficulties faced by so many children in
our
classrooms today. Through a variety of interactive activities and
challenges, participants will have the opportunity to experience
first-hand what it is like to actually have a learning disability of
their own! As well, we’ll look at a wide range of strategies,
accommodations and alternative approaches that can be used, in order to
build a student’s self-esteem, demystify their struggles, and maximize
opportunities for social and academic success.
