At these schools, students with learning differences – ADHD, executive function deficits or language-based learning disabilities, for example – have effective, structured supports built right into their regular academic programs, not offered only as add-ons or pull-outs.
Using representative case studies, our panelists will describe how their schools would meet the needs of bright students who benefit from support. A question and answer period will follow the presentation.
