Ep. 59 - Learning difficulties, what parents need to know!

This is the time of year where families are reaching out because a parent-teacher conference either indicated there is a concern at school or the parent’s have questions about their child’s performance. There are so many factors that contribute to a child’s success at school and the ultimate goals are to improve a child’s academic performance, encourage self care and independence, make friends and be social, keep them safe and improve self esteem. Dr. Kelly Christian and I have an informative discussion on how to help families understand their child’s learning needs and what they can do to help them. 

Dr. Kelly M. Christian is a licensed psychologist and clinical director of Lawrence School's Ethan D. Schafer Center for Learning Differences, which provides community outreach to families, schools, and professionals all over Northeast Ohio. The Schafer Center offers low-cost psychological and learning assessments, professional development, multi sensory tutoring services, as well as consultations for parents seeking to better understand their child’s learning needs. Dr. Christian is also an adjunct assistant professor at Case Western Reserve University and supervises the assessment training of doctoral students at both Case Western Reserve and Kent State Universities.
