press release: “Learn Different Day” is a day of community, mentorship, learning, art and fun for students with learning and attention issues, like dyslexia and ADHD, and their families! Parents and caregivers will gain a new and hopeful perspective on their child’s learning difference. Students will explore how to become empowered. They’ll learn about opportunities for support, be encouraged to understand how they learn, and become able to self-advocate so they can thrive in school and in life.
Attendees will be split into parent and student groups to participate in these activities:
Art Projects: Students will attend an “art room” to experience Eye to Eye’s social-emotional curriculum and foster a partnership with a college/high school student who has a similar learning and attention issue.
Meet the Eye to Eye Diplomats: Parents will join a session featuring college-age students who will share inspiring personal stories and practical strategies for success.
Expert Panel featuring exciting supporters of the community of different learners!
