We’ve heard you! This event is for you AND your students.
Hear from two successful college students about how they have transformedself-doubt into success. These speakers are Eye to Eye Diplomats who inspire audiences and ignite hope through stories of their own journeys to self-empowerment. Eye to Eye is an organization whose mission is to improve the life of every person with a learning disability. Eye to Eye fulfills its mission by supporting and growing a network of youth mentoring programs run by and for those with learning differences, and by organizing advocates to support the full inclusion of people with learning disabilities and ADHD in all aspects of society.
Diplomats are a select group of Eye to Eye’s college-age mentors who are trained to speak to audiences of middle school and high school students with learning differences, their parents and professionals who work with them. During this presentation, the Diplomats will walk the audience through their journey of educational and personal change, providing a new understanding of LD/ADHD and learning itself. At the core is a message for people who think differently. The presentation also will provide practical, accessible tips for academic success.
