Back by popular demand!" Using fun and interactive strategies, Diane helps teens develop essential study skills that can be used in learning settings such as classrooms, lectures, labs, study groups, and testing situations. This workshop is specially designed to help teens improve their study skills. Parents are invited, too!

Diane Shepard specializes in teaching and learning strategies for diverse learners, faculty, and staff at Central New Mexico Community College in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Growing Up with Dyslexia

with Sara Leggett and Ryan Luther
1:00-2:00 pm

Parents have the option of attending a break-out panel discussion and Q&A with young adults who have accommodated their dyslexia to gain insights on how their children can overcome their learning disabilities. (This discussion will run concurrent with the Diane Shepard event. Parents can join the second half of the Diane Shepard event after the panel discussion.)
