Lucie M. Curtiss & Dr. Douglas Curtiss To Discuss Dyslexia At Bridgeport Hospital Grand Rounds

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - March 5, 2017 - PRLog -- Lucie M. Curtiss & Dr. Douglas Curtiss are excited to announce they will be presenting at Bridgeport Hospital Grand Rounds, discussing dyslexia in children. The Curtisses will share insights on helping dyslexic children. In particular, the talk will examine:

Early Identification of Dyslexia - Since early intervention is effective in helping children overcome the challenges of dyslexia, the Curtiss's will present some of the early warning signs of dyslexia

Differentiating Dyslexia and ADHD  - Since many children with learning challenges can exhibit symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity, the Curtisses will be helping the pediatricians learn how to differentiate the two

Navigating the School System - Parents of dyslexic children often find the task of helping their children in the school system daunting. Part of a pediatrician's job is to help their patients' parents steer through this system. So the Curtisses will help make this task more clear for pediatricians.

Dyslexia and Self-Esteem - Children with learning challenges, such as dyslexia, can suffer with poor self-esteem. This lower self-esteem can lead to poor performance in school, which can further affect self-esteem. The Curtisses will help pediatricians learn how they can help support their patients' self-esrpteem.

The talk will occur in the Hollander Auditorium of Bridgeport Hospital on March 15th from 8:30 to 9:30AM
