At many workshops parents and professionals consider the very real problems that children with learning disabilities (LD) or attention deficit disorder (ADD) must struggle with. But we seldom hear about the flip side of these labels– the particular, unique differences that can be strengths for people carrying these labels. This workshop will look at the traits that, if nurtured and supported, can help children with LD/ADD feel good about themselves, compensate problem areas, and develop strengths and talents.

Speaker(s): Joan McNamara, children and family therapist, North Carolina • Bernard McNamara, Centerpoint Human Services, North Carolina.
