Breakout Session

Every classroom is unique and every child learns differently. During this interactive session, participants will experience many of the environmental and learning barriers students who learn differently struggle with daily. Parents and professionals will gain a better understanding of potential reasons a student might struggle academically and behaviorally in the classroom.
