Community Conversation about Learning Disabilities

“Learning Disabilities, particularly in adulthood, are a “whole life” issue that shape not only literacy and learning, but also people’s self-esteem, family and work life”
 
Join us for this informal Community Conversation about Learning Disabilities in Adults on Friday April 19th   from 9:30 – 11:30 at Chilliwack Community Services Wellington St. Board Room
 
This session is for anyone who has an interest in the topic of Adult Learning Disabilities
 
Participants will have an opportunity to explore the following questions:  
What do you believe is the biggest challenge that persons with Learning Disability face?
What helpful resources are you aware of in our community, region, or province?
What other resources or opportunities could be helpful to you and/or your agency? 
This conversation is limited to 25 people. Please register with Debbie Denault debbied@chilliwacklearning.com or 604-392-2404.
