Living with a Learning Disability
On Thursday, October 6th, at 5:15 pm, Townsend Gilbert will be the guest speaker for Rotary's monthly "First Thursday" evening meeting at the Fullerton Inn on The Common Chester, VT. Townsend will be discussing the impact his learning disability, dyslexia, had on him as a child, as a young adult, and as a successful entrepreneur and businessman.
Schools in 2016 are not only aware of the issues associated with learning disabilities but have put systems in place to accommodate those disabilities. Unfortunately, that is not true in the adult workplace. Making the transition from academia to the working world is a challenge that many individuals continue to struggle with. Townsend will detail his own experiences and share his strategies for success as a learning disabled adult.
This event is free, open to the public and everyone is welcome to attend this interactive and informative presentation. Reservations are not necessary but for planning purposes, including our free hors d’oeuvre buffet, please help us out by registering at chestervtrotary@gmail.com .
