Dear Parents and Professionals:

Here is the Lecture Series Calendar for the Upper Saddle River Parent Group &

Educational Support Group. This group was founded by a group of parents almost

10 years ago. They focus on a broad range of issues that impact learning, such

as:

a.. Organizational Skills

b.. Language-Based Learning Disabilities (inc. Dyslexia)

c.. Sensory Integration

d.. Gifted/Twice Exceptional Students (gifted children with a second

exceptionality, such as dyslexia, attention deficit, etc.)

e.. Advocacy and Special Education Law.

Meetings are open to parents and professionals at no charge. They meet on

select Thursdays at 7pm at the Upper Saddle River Library, 245 Lake Street,

Upper Saddle River.
