Description

With remote and hybrid learning on the rise, students who are considered “alternative learners” – those with ADHD, Autism, and learning disabilities – are facing unprecedented challenges as they pivot to meet the demands of this new educational era.

Watch Dr. Sharon Saline in this recording that dives into practical, collaborative tools for addressing the educational and mental health concerns of kids who learn differently. Packed with insight and concrete strategies, this program will prepare you, your clients/students, and their families for a successful school year, including how to:

  • Navigate remote, in-person, and hybrid learning models that aren’t designed with them in mind
  • Increase motivation, goal-directed persistence, time management, and organisational skills
  • Identify potential mental health issues related to learning challenges for non-neurotypical children and adolescents
  • Support families — create effective daily routines, manage stress, and build connection
