Based on his broad perspective on students with LD and ADHD, Dr. Schultz will provide an overview of the characteristics of programs that are “doing the right thing” for these kids. As a parent, you’ll be able to use this information to assess the nature and quality of the services your child is getting. If you’re a teacher, these criteria can serve as a scorecard that you can use to take a closer look at your own professional performance. Dr. Schultz, a former special education teacher and now a Clinical Neuropsychologist on the faculty of Harvard Medical School, will also discuss the reality that it’s often a challenge to get appropriate services. He’ll offer some simple but effective strategies that have helped many kids stay on the path to success.
