Different Learners: The Nature and Nurture of Learning Problems in the 21st Century

Learning abilities—and differences—result from a complex interaction of genetics, brain development, and a child's experiences at home and school. We will explore research on this nature-nurture interaction in children of the digital age, review successful case studies with positive strategies for recognizing symptoms, find effective therapies, and construct a learning-power environment to help any child achieve more effectively.

How do genetics and a child's experiences at home and school affect learning abilities? How has this nature-nurture interaction changed in our fast-paced digital age? Join renowned educational psychologist Dr. Jane Healy as she shows parents and teachers how to build a learning environment that minimizes learning problems and maximizes achievement.
