Dyslexia Forsyth's Upcoming Events
Dyslexia and More…Differentiating Among Disorders
Thursday, March 19, 2015 at 7:00pm
@Forsyth County Board of Education, Room 380
1120 Dahlonega Highway, Cumming, GA 30040
Often dyslexic students struggle with more than just reading, writing and spelling. Come learn more about common struggles- with math, handwriting, language processing, focus, anxiety and more. While learning disabilities can occur independently of one another, oftentimes they overlap. Dr. Leslie Stuart will present information on how to recognize these other difficulties as well as what you can do to help your child cope with them. Please come prepared to ask questions specific to your child's struggles. This is a group effort from IDA-GA, Decoding Dyslexia-GA and Dyslexia Forsyth.
