UNDERSTANDING LEARNING DIFFERENCES

Learning is an inherent part of being human. We all learn, ideally at a pace that matches our needs and in a system capable of adapting to and respecting our differences.

#AprendoDifference [#WhatsDifference] is inspired by this shared need. It’s a Project Difference initiative that offers families, teachers and young people resources and videos to help them appreciate the many different ways in which we learn.

Informative videos are designed to help everyone understand learning differences (dyslexia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Talented and Gifted students) so that young people can develop their potential in a positive, inclusive and diverse environment.
