Encouraging, Enabling & Empowering LD Students – The TLDF 2007

The TLDF 2007 received an overwhelming response with over 200 attendees making it to The Grand Hyatt, Mumbai that played host to the day-long event. The TLDF 2007 brought together national and international speakers, deans, principals, teachers, and even families of students with learning disabilities.

This year, the TLDF 2007 not only discussed working together for the benefit of LD students, but also welcomed on stage, the students and parents of students who have overcome learning difficulties.

While the TLDF 2006 successfully spread awareness on LD, the TLDF 2007 went a step ahead and brought together speakers and participants from across the globe to gather support for LD students in India. For the last two years the TLDF has proudly provided a platform for this cause, and with the support and encouragement of positive results, we will continue to encourage, enable, and empower LD students for a better future!   

Some of the topics discussed in the sessions were: the steps beyond LD certification, multidisciplinary approaches, medical aspects, the role of a Special Educator, how to identify LD in the classroom, the social and emotional aspects of LD and most importantly, the role of the Government. To enable a greater sharing of knowledge and extend our support to this cause, we have made the TLDF presentations available on http://tldf.tatainteractive.com.
