About the Webinar:
Social-emotional skills are increasingly recognized as an essential component for a child's future well-being and success. For students with a learning disability (LD) who may be at risk of developing challenges in this area, it can feel confusing and overwhelming about knowing how to help. This keynote presents a roadmap for understanding the social-emotional development of a child and share how educators can use the power of their relationship and their knowledge of the child to promote growth and success. Participants will leave with increased knowledge of social-emotional development and ways to promote precise and personalized growth for their students with LDs.
