Overcoming Learning Difficulties

Is your child having difficulty at school?

Has your child been diagnosed with dyslexia or dyscalculia?

Does your child have attention difficulties?

During this presentation, you will discover how a special learning difficulty like dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, auditory and/or visual processing and many more does not have to be lifelong.

We are proud to welcome Debbie Gilmore, Executive Director of Arrowsmith to join us and bring the latest information and evidence of the power of neuroplasticity of the brain and Arrowsmiths cognitive programs to make lasting changes.

Learn more of Teen Challenge Tasmania's work delivering Arrowsmith program for two and a half years with staggering results for children, teens and adults alike. We will share our experience professionally and of participants in the program as to what this looks likes in lives here in Tasmania now.

Our Presentation will be held in the Upper Room above Hope Cafe and Hope Costumes & Thrift store (entry through their front door)

A light supper will be prepared by the Hope Cafe young people learning hospitality within another program Teen Challenge Tasmania run to help young people.
