Free A.D.D. Seminar

I have not really posted about ADD even though I am pretty sure my son has it.  According to many specialist ADD and Dyslexia go hand in hand. Here is what Everyday Health Says:

For many children, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the learning disorder dyslexia go hand-in-hand. As many as one in four children with ADHD also have dyslexia, while between 15 and 40 percent of children with dyslexia have ADHD.

Here is another website:

Approximately 60 to 100 percent of children diagnosed with ADHD also have two or more other related conditions and one of the most notable conditions is dyslexia.

So, both say ADHD but its the same for ADD. I am sharing this because the author of the  book Healing ADD Revised Edition: The Breakthrough Program that Allows You to See and Heal the 7 Types of ADD, Dr. Amen, is hosting an online seminar.

I have purchased his new book recently and plan to watch the seminar. I can’t wait.

What is Dyslexia? Seminar

By

Apart from your child having dyslexia, what do you know about it? As a parent, the more you know, the better equipped you will be to help your child manage its symptoms and create a reading and learning plan for school and future success.

Learning Ally is having  a webinar about dyslexia. I am not sure if you have to be a member. If you are unfamiliar with Learning Ally as I was up until October, Learning Ally is a national nonprofit with a defined approach to help support students with learning disabilities and their families. They provide audiobooks, kind of like audible.com. Please go to their website to see all they have to offer.

Dyslexia is a learning disability — the most common one — and there are certain interventions and accommodations that help make it manageable for your child.

  • What is dyslexia exactly?
  • Is your child broken?
  • How does dyslexia impact reading and learning?
  • What are its effects?
  • What interventions are there?
  • Where can you find the answers your child and your family need?

These questions and many more will be answered during Learning Ally’s “What Is Dyslexia?” webinar, being held on Thursday, March 27, 2014, at 12:00 noon and 3:00 p.m. Click here to get to their website.
