Parent Talk on August 17th - Demystifying Learning Disabilities

Parents of children with learning disabilities (LD) and children and adults with LD still face huge misunderstanding about what learning disabilities are…and what they’re not. When you hear an uneducated remark from a neighbor, colleague, coach, relative, or even from someone at the grocery store, how do you deal with it?

Join NCLD's Parent Leader, Marcie Lipsett, duing this Parent Talk as she discusses:
• Explaining LD in order to reduce stigma
• Dealing with people who misunderstand what a learning disability is
• Helping a child respond to uneducated (and hurtful) remarks
• Dealing with family members who simply don't get it
• Responding to someone who thinks that LD = autism, AD/HD, or mental retardation
