Cuesta College’s Disabled Student Programs and Services (DSPS) is set to host the 2017 Learning Disabilities Conference, themed “Strategies for Success” on Friday, October 20, from 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. on Cuesta College’s San Luis Obispo Campus in room 5401. The conference is geared toward professionals, teachers, students, and parents who have children with disabilities. Published author and expert in the field of human resilience, Dr. Mark Katz will give a keynote address on tools and strategies for understanding human resilience, the limits of emotional endurance, and the prevention and reduction of compassion fatigue.

The conference will also include breakout sessions on the prevention of youth violence, legal issues in education, cognitive intervention and more. Lite breakfast and full lunch is included.
