Pardon the Mess with Courtney DeFeo - Christian Motherhood, Biblical Parenting, Raising Christian Kids The real deal with learning differences and our kids with Dr. Housson
Learning differences impact so many of our families, and oftentimes leave us confused and concerned as we consider the impact on our kids. I’m so grateful we have the opportunity to talk about this important issue today, and I’ve brought in the best to guide our discussion.
Dr. Matthew Housson has a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and focuses his Dallas practice on learning differences, specifically diagnosing autism, attention disorders, learning disabilities, and emotional and behavioral disorders.
He is preeminent in his field and is graciously giving us a crash course on topics like these:
- When is too young to test for a learning difference?
- How do learning differences present themselves in elementary, middle, and high school?
- Does a LD mean lower intelligence?
- What are the different types of attention disorders?
- Is it ever too late for “early” intervention?
My prayer is that we can dispel some of the myths and shed light in the dark places we fear on the learning difference journey.
Trust me when I say you need to hear this today—if not for your own children, then for those walking these roads beside you.
