Many children struggle with reading, writing, or math at some point in school. But how do you know when a challenge reflects a true learning disorder rather than a temporary hurdle, attention difficulties, or differences in learning pace? Professionals may tell you to get a neuropsychological evaluation, but how does this help?
In this webinar, Dr. Danielle diFilipo and Dr. Amira Hanna covered how learning disorders present in the classroom and at home, outlining how neuropsychological evaluations help identify students in need.
In this webinar, they discussed:
- the basics of learning disorders in reading, writing, and math
- the differences between learning disorders and other kinds of difficulties
- how learning disorders are diagnosed through a neuropsychological evaluation
- how evaluations translate into practical recommendations for school and home
This webinar helped viewers better understand different kinds of learning needs and how to seek effective support. Danielle and Amira ended with a live Q&A, moderated by Dr. Mandi White-Ajmani, with questions from participants.
