Empowered Learner Night with Dr. Jan Hasbrouck

On Thursday, February 11, Springer Learning Center is proud to welcome Dr. Jan Hasbrouck for Empowered Learner Night! Dr. Hasbrouck will present My Journey with Dyslexia as a Parent and a Researcher: Sharing the Good News!

Dyslexia is widely recognized as a challenging disorder that affects not only the child but the entire family. Many of us who have experienced the challenge of parenting or caregiving for a child with dyslexia share similar stories. In this presentation, Jan Hasbrouck will share her personal story of raising a child with dyslexia as well as her work in this area as a reading specialist and a researcher. The focus will be on the good news: The positive impact of early identification, on-going support, and targeted interventions, based on current evidence from high-quality research.
