The Ridgefield Lyme Disease Task Force is sponsoring a free workshop on Saturday morning, March 29, to address learning problems specific to children suffering from tick-borne diseases. Education advocate Linda J. Talbert will explain how the extreme and fluctuating symptoms of Lyme disease affect cognition and executive functioning and how best to support the child’s unique educational needs.
Ms. Talbert is a member of the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates. The program will be held at the Ridgefield Town Hall Annex, 66 Prospect Street, from 10 to noon. To reserve a spot, email RLDTF@comcast.net or call 203-241-2400.
