The Learning Disabilities Association of Wellington County is hosting a technology workshop on “What’s New and Who’s Using What”.
Representatives from the Upper Grand District School Board, Wellington Catholic District School Board, Conestoga College and the University of Guelph will be presenting software and other technology that can support students with learning disabilities. They will also talk about low cost or free options that could be accessed in order to accommodate a learning disability.
Presented by the Learning Disabilities Association of Wellington County (LDAWC), the workshop will be held on Nov. 27 from 7 to 9pm at the Community Living Board Room, 8 Royal Rd, Guelph. Registration is $10 for members, $15 non-members
The LDAWC is funded by The United Way.
The LDAWC 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 he or she 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.
