Description:
This webinar will be conducted in an interactive form where participants will learn the basic structures of the learning disability (LD) and potential technology driven solution provision techniques. An overview of "The Hidden Disability" will be discussed and outlined. Additional resources embedded in the PowerPoint will discuss the types of LD typically found in general populations via links and definitions. Technology solutions will be unveiled and detailed from the most simple and lowest cost to the more "premium" costly but more comprehensive learning access solutions available in the industry. The interactive PowerPoint will be given to the learner as a reference for future use and access.
