Navigating Neurodiversity in Early Childhood

A very practical SPELD NZ recorded online webinar that includes children demonstrating recommended activities.

Research shows the earlier we identify and support children with dyslexia and other specific learning disabilities (SLD), the better the outcomes. So what are the first signs and what can we do to help?

Also presenting is Lois Nunes, is a SPELD NZ Assessor and Teacher with more than 26 years of experience assessing and/or working with individuals with SLD.
