Learning Disorders during Elementary School Years

Learning about How your child’s brain works is crucial to support their mental health well being and mind’ s development, having this knowledge will help you see your child from a different perspective.
Ignoring the signs will only hold back your child and your family.

People with neurological differences are not broken or incomplete versions of normal people, they just learn and think differently and they only need to be accepted and understood.

If you have seen some of these signs on your Child check with his/her pediatrician.

The goal of FACE is for each and every child and family in a community to feel as though they are part of Medina PTA, and for our PTA to be an active part of the community in which it resides.
