Panel 11/3: College Prep Boarding Schools for Bright Kids with Learning Challenges

Co-Sponsored by NESCA and Boston Educational Consultants Howland, Spence & McMillan

Please join us for a moderated discussion with the  Directors of Admission from five top college preparatory boarding schools with integral learning skills programs.

At these five schools, students with learning differences – ADHD, Executive Function Deficits or Language-based Learning Disabilities – have structured supports built right into their regular academic programs, not just offered as add-ons or pull-outs.

Using hypothetical case studies, the panelists will describe how their schools would meet the needs of three bright but challenged students who need support. A question and answer period will follow the presentation.

When:    10am - Noon, Saturday, November 3, 2012

Where:   The Westin Hotel Waltham's Emerson Room,

                    70 Third Avenue, Waltham, MA 02451
