Dear Friend,
Are you able to make a difference? What can
be done to make a difference for a person who
struggles with learning?

Learning Disabilities and Learning

Psychologist
Often I am asked whether I “believe in” inclusion or
pull out, as if either were a creed..

Have you have enjoyed the articles, tips, and lesson
plans in the Bridgebuilder over the past few months?
We aim to provide you with the helpful and timely
information, and doing so requires significant
resources and the combined effort of many
