At LDS we are passionate about equipping people with knowledge and information about learning differences and disabilities and how to support and advocate for individuals and groups with learning differences in educational, social, work and community settings.
Walk a Mile in My Shoes is an experiential workshop that uses simulations and exercises to raise awareness about learning differences.
Trained facilitators help participants to explore learning differences such as: Dysgraphia, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, ADHD, and Visual-Perception diculties. Through this workshop, participants will gain knowledge about
current research and knowledge in the eld of learning differences and a practical understanding of how it may affect a person’s everyday life at home, work and school.
In order to facilitate discussion, it is not recommended that children/teens attend this workshop. This workshop can be tailored for small and large groups, and is perfect for professional development days, volunteer training, parent nights, and more.
This workshop also brings together concepts of social justice and advocacy in relation to supporting diverse groups of people. This workshop can be tailored for small and large groups, and is perfect for students in teen leadership/mentorship programs, teens preparing to undertake volunteer or work experience, and teens taking programs or courses related to education, psychology, and social justice.
