🧠 October is Learning Disabilities Awareness Month.
Learning disabilities can be caused by genetic and neurobiological factors that affect cognitive processes related to learning, such as reading, writing, math, organization, time planning, abstract reasoning, memory, and attention.
Learning disabilities can impact an individual's life beyond academics, affecting relationships and work. While learning disabilities are often diagnosed during the school years, some individuals may not receive an evaluation until post-secondary education or adulthood.
It's important to note that learning disabilities should not be confused with other disabilities or disadvantages.
People with learning disabilities are often of average or above-average intelligence, but may struggle to demonstrate expected skills. Although learning disabilities are lifelong challenges, appropriate support and intervention can help individuals achieve success in various areas of life.

Attending school provides students with countless opportunities to learn and grow academically, socially, and emotionally. It also enables them to build strong relationships with fellow students and teachers, which can be incredibly valuable in the long run. Moreover, being present in class ensures that students have access to the resources and support they need to succeed. Remember, every day counts! Let's prioritize education and show that being together makes us stronger! #SWSDStrongerTogether!

📚👩🎓👨🎓🏫💼 Did you know that patterns of absenteeism often start in elementary school? Research shows that 11% of elementary students miss 18 or more days, with one in ten kindergarten and first grade students missing a month of school each year due to absences. This can have a significant impact on a child's education. 83% of students who are chronically absent in kindergarten and first grade cannot read on-level by third grade, and these students are 4x more likely to drop out.
