Learning
Disabilities. What are they and
what do they mean? When does a
child have a learning problem, and how do you get them appropriate help if they
do?
As
part of Langsford’s mission to provide our community and fellow educators with
up-to-date information and research about learning, Langsford recently hosted
approximately 50 local school administrators and learning resource personnel to
hear Joe Edwards, Psy.D., present on Understanding
Psychoeducational Diagnoses & Classroom Implications.
Dr.
Edwards explained the DSM V’s criteria for specific LD diagnoses, and talked
about what types of accommodations, strategies, and classroom modifications
schools and teachers can make to help their students be successful
learners. It was a great
opportunity for us all to learn more about learning disabilities and what we
can do to help those affected in our classrooms!
Here is a picture of Dr. Edwards in action!
