Learn How To Learn...for Children & Teens with Learning Differences
Kids who learn differently often learn best when they see and experience information. Too often, educational testing focuses on what is wrong with the child and does not fully encompass their strengths. In this episode of Experts in Learning Differences, Mira and Mark Halpert, President and Director of 3D Learner, will explain how to identify the child who learns differently, the importance of addressing his or her challenges, and the benefits of strength-based parenting and education. Viewers will also learn their strengths and challenges as caregivers, useful tips on parenting, and the value of collaboration with their child’s teachers and school.

“When our daughter was told, ‘You are not college material,’ we asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up. She said, ‘The teacher I never had!!!’ It was at that moment I became a mom on a mission determined to help bright kids who learn differently learn how THEY learn best. My passion is helping kids learn how to learn the way they learn and providing them with the opportunity to be all they can be.”
