Don't miss our special event Nov. 4 on identifying learning disabilities. Join licensed therapist Camille Hereth to learn early indicators that your child may be at risk and to hear about strategies to advocate for testing to determine what types of learning disabilities are present and what kinds of accommodations will be most impactful for school success.
