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!
