Landmark School Student Advocates presented at a recent LPA (Landmark Parents' Association) meeting. Student Advocates pick topics related to their learning disabilities, research and form a presentation, then visit teaching colleges and universities in the Boston area as well as public schools to share their first-hand experiences of what it feels like to have a learning disability. Their presentations are impactful, honest, and eye-opening for their audiences. Landmark parents were equally impressed by the presentations from these students.

Some of the topics covered in the presentation included:

• The 3 Main DYS's - An overview of Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, and Dysgraphia
• Dyslexia Throughout a Learners Life
• People with Dyslexia in the Work Environment
• The Importance of Testing for Dyslexia
• An Educator's Paradox: Mental Health and Addiction
• Neurological Differences Between Dyslexic and Neurotypical Brains
• The MIND Theory
