Beyond Barriers: Turning Learning Disabilities into Academic Strengths

Send us a text

Dr. Damaris-Grossman shares her journey of achieving a doctorate despite having learning disabilities and ADHD. She provides practical strategies for reframing learning disabilities as different abilities and offers insight into navigating educational challenges through personalized approaches.

• Learning disabilities are not indicators of intelligence but different ways of processing information
• Time management strategies include making lists, using digital calendars, and breaking tasks into smaller goals
• Building a supportive network of peers, family, and educational resources is crucial for success
• Advocating for accommodations like quiet testing rooms or additional time can transform the learning experience
• Each person's learning style is unique - some learn better through listening, others through visual aids or discussion
• Modern technology offers numerous tools like text-to-speech, dictation software, and highlighting features
• Recognizing personal strengths like hyper-focus, resilience, and unique perspectives can turn challenges into advantages
• Mindfulness and stress management techniques help manage the emotional aspects of learning differently
