About the webinar:
In this video, we explore how parents and guardians can play a vital role in supporting children with learning disabilities (LDs) and/or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) throughout their education. When schools and families work together, students are more likely to succeed — academically, socially, and emotionally.
Viewers will learn about the signs and impacts of LDs and ADHD, practical strategies to support learning at home, and how to build effective, collaborative relationships with educators. The video walks through key steps in the school support process — from the first teacher meeting to the development of an Individual Education Plan (IEP).
We also offer concrete tips for becoming an effective advocate and for helping children build self-advocacy and confidence over time. Whether you’re new to this journey or looking to strengthen your partnership with your child’s school, this video is a helpful starting point.
In this resource, you’ll discover:
- What LDs and ADHD can look like in everyday life
- Practical strategies for home routines and homework
- A step-by-step guide to navigating school support
- Advocacy tips that empower both parents and students
- Links to further support and local resources
This video is part of our commitment to strengthening the home–school connection — a critical factor in supporting students with LDs to reach their full potential.
