What’s happening @ the office?

Here we are at the end of Term 1 already!

Our first seminar ‘Complex Reading Difficulties – a collaborative approach’ was held this week and was very well received. All four presenters provided the attendees with up to date research and strategies to help at school and home. We have already had so much positive feedback for this seminar and we thank the presenters for donating their time in supporting the LDC. This seminar is still available to purchase as a video link if you missed out – please email or phone the office to find out more.

Our Term 2 seminar is now open for registrations, Dr Julia Starling will present “Explicit Vocabulary Instruction from K-12: how teachers and parents can help ALL students’ learning, language and literacy development”. Please see the seminars page to find out more or register.

Our free Parent Talk Series was very popular this term – Andrew Greenfield presented on ‘Behaviour support and parenting tips for kids with ADHD and learning difficulties’. The topic was in such demand that Andrew has generously agreed to speak again later in the year – we’ll keep you posted later next term. For now, stay tuned for our Term 2 Parent Talk – details will be added to the website early next term. You may want to consider joining the LDC so that you get notified first about our next talk. Please see the Membership page if you are interested.

Just a reminder that the LDC will be closed for the school holidays and will reopen on Monday 29th April.

Cheers,
Wendy

Teacher Tip

Take the time to really get to know all your students with learning difficulties and find out their strengths and interests. A good relationship will help both the student (feeling supported, seen and understood) and you the teacher (encouraging positive outcomes in the student’s work and behaviour).
