Inservices and Workshops

Our workshops and seminars continue to be well received by and important to the Cape Breton community. We offer a complete line of workshops that organizations, schools, post-secondary institutions, parent groups or educators can choose from.

In addition to the workshops our team can provide, we try to offer small sessions once or twice a year featuring guest speakers who are leading experts in their fields.

What It Feels Like to have a Learning Disabiliity

Through a combination of simulations and student profiles, attendees develop the knowledge and sensitivity needed to work with or understand the needs of students or adults with learning difficulties.

As part of this workshop, attendees are provided with lots of information on learning deficits, remediation strategies, advocacy and student planning. This workshop is especially beneficial for parents of children with learning issues and teachers.
