Virtual Event via Zoom
Neurodevelopmental disabilities including learning disabilities, ADHD, and intellectual disability are common childhood conditions. Often, families and professionals focus on the impact of these conditions in childhood, and how to support students. This presentation will focus on the long-term outcomes of these disorders into adulthood, and what we all can do to impact, and hopefully improve, those outcomes.
All Speaker Series events are open to the public.
