Abstract
The purpose of this paper was to justify the need of a workshop for parents of learning disabled children . The need determined by the result of a questionnaire filled out by the parents of LD children.
Once the need of the workshop was established a review of the literature in the field of learning disabilities was completed . This was done to give the presenter the necessary background to conduct a factual and effective workshop . Research was included on historical background of the LD field, definitions, characteristics, and social issues.
Methods of an effective presenter were also researched so that the workshop facilitator could effectively focus the participants attention and prepare for the experiences ahead . This research also prepared the facilitator to plan for the most comfortable and supportive environment for those involved.
Included as well is the actual design and coverage of the workshop for parents of LD children. The plans and details for three, two hour, sessions were created.
The last section included evaluation of the facilitator along with the facilitator's observations and recommendations.
