Kathy gives talks at conferences worldwide and online
Online events
Having a child with learning challenges can make it hard to attend a convention. So Kathy talks online and in person. Some past events include:
ADHD Experts Webinar and Podcast, “A Parent’s Guide to the Best School Options for Students with ADHD and LD. Public school, private school, parochial school, charter school, homeschool, or tutors? Kathy Kuhl discusses the pros and cons of different school options, factors to consider, and how to determine which one is best for your child and your family. The podcast is available on Apple, on Spotify, and other platforms.
How to raise a book lover, even when they struggle to learn? On December 29, 2020, on The Homeschool Solutions Show, Janice Campbell interviewed me about homeschooling struggling learners and helping them develop a love of literature and language. Find this show wherever you download podcasts, including Apple Podcasts.
