Making Sense of Sound: Understanding Auditory Processing Disorders and How They Affect Learning
This session unpacks the often-confusing world of auditory processing and how it differs from hearing ability. Parents will gain a clear understanding of what it means when a child can “hear but not always understand,” and how these challenges can impact reading, spelling, comprehension, attention, and overall learning. We will explore the different types of auditory processing difficulties, common signs to watch for at home and in academic settings, and how these struggles can be mistaken for other issues such as ADHD or lack of motivation. Practical strategies and resources will be shared to help families support their child’s success, along with hope-filled examples of how targeted intervention can make a meaningful difference.
Get off the Curriculum Carousel! Rethinking the Reasons Your Child is Underperforming in Reading
In this workshop, clinical and educational audiologist, Dr. Jody Jedlicka will share how weaknesses in your instruction or reading curriculum may not be the root cause of your child’s poor reading performance. Instead, Dr. Jody will share how cognitive skills underlie the ability to think and learn effectively and that strengthening cognitive skills may be a better choice than changing curriculum…again. Expertly weaving science with stories of hope and a fun brain training demonstration, she will ensure attendees will leave with a better understanding of what to look for in reading instruction and how brain strengthening exercises can improve reading skills.
