“Social Emotional Learning to empower students with learning disabilities and ADHD”
The Conference is the result of a long-term relationship and collaboration between the Nitzan Association for the Advancement of Children and Adults with Learning Disabilities and ADHD and Vytautas Magnus University in Lithuania.
The purpose of the Conference is to bring together researchers and scientists from different countries to work together for a better world where professional and human cooperation is of utmost importance.

It is important to provide educators with effective coping tools so that they can create a safe and nurturing environment for their students, encouraging growth and effective learning.
This Conference will emphasize the significance of SEL for students in general, and for students with learning disabilities and ADHD in particular.
