DSYLEXIA MEETING
SCHEDULED

Despite its place as the most common learning disability in children, dyslexia is frequently misunderstood.  According to experts, no two people with dyslexia are exactly alike because dyslexia ranges from mild to severe.  In addition, about half of all children with dyslexia also have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.  ADHD and dyslexia are distinct conditions that frequently overlap, thereby causing some confusion about the nature of these two conditions.

On Monday, May 4, Dr. David Elkins will discuss dyslexia, ADHD and other issues at the Williamson County Public Library.  Dr. Elkins is a clinical psychologist who specializes in dealing with ADHD.  He will address the many emotions that might affect a child with ADHD or dyslexia.  Dr. Elkins will also discuss ways in which parents and teachers can encourage youngsters, as well as adolescents, to be successful by using strategies that work.

Parents and educators are welcome to attend.  The meeting will take place Monday, May 4 at 6 p.m. at the Williamson County Library located at 1314 Columbia Ave, Franklin, TN 37064.  If you plan on attending, please RSVP to Eileen Miller at jerbler@comcast.net or (615) 599-0992.  Space is limited.
