Community & Development

The de Paul School directs part of its energies to increasing community awareness of learning differences. 

The de Paul School Community Education Series:  Throughout each school year, the school hosts public seminars which focus on issues of critical importance to children and adults with learning differences.  Some seminars are geared specifically to the interests and concerns of parents, while others are geared toward educators.

Speaker requests: Civic groups and other organizations who wish to learn more about learning differences are encouraged to contact our school.

Professional Development: The de Paul School fulfills a variety of speaking requests each year, for professional organizations and other interested groups.  We are happy to share our expertise on research, best teaching practices, home issues, and other topics related to learning disabilities.
