The Learning Disabilities Association of Wellington County is hosting a technology workshop on “What’s New and How to Use It”.
The hands-on workshop builds upon our last technology workshop. Registrants are invited to bring their cell phones and tablets to practice free and low cost software and apps.
Representatives from the University of Guelph and Wellington Catholic District School Board will be presenting on the software and other technology that can support students with learning disabilities.
The workshop is set for May 16 at 7 to 9 pm. at St Michael Public School, Faith Centre, 9 McElderry Rd.
Cost is $10 for members, $15 for non members. Subsidy available.
The Learning Disabilities Association of Wellington County is a charitable, non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children, youth and adults with learning disabilities so that they can reach their full potential. Through outreach, education, advising and advocacy, the association’s mandate is to advance the education, employment, social development, legal rights and general well-being of individuals with learning disabilities.
A learning disability is often referred to as “the invisible disability” because you would not know, when meeting someone, that she/he has a difficulty with reading, writing, math or organizational skills. People with learning disabilities are often circumscribed because they are not able to perform what most of us consider simple tasks. Many people with a learning disability have low self-esteem, suffer from depression and anxiety, and lack social skills.
