Learning Matters currently has several board seats available with an eye toward Community Engagement and Fundraising. If you are a champion for Dyslexia and have a passion for education, youth, and literacy we'd love to talk with you. Learning Matters works to reduce barriers to learning and ensure educational equity for K-12 students with learning disabilities by providing academic assessment, individualized instruction, and educational advocacy regardless of socio-economic status. Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, and ADHD are examples of common learning disabilities.

Opportunity Details

The social impact of illiteracy cannot be understated. It is estimated that 1-in-5 students are adversely affected by the presence of a learning disability. We're going the extra mile to help our children read, raise awareness and reduce the stigma of Dyslexia. In the effort to break the cycle of poverty and ensure educational equity, funds raised by the event will directly support families who are financially not able to access necessary academic support services for their child. Please join us as a volunteer, form a team, inquire about board opportunities. Thank you.

My name is Casey Lenihan, Director of the Horizons/ECSU Transition Education Partnership. I work closely with Mary Hamilton, Teacher with Horizons Transition Education Services. Transition Education is for students who are eligible for special education through their local high school.

Horizons is a private not-for-profit entity that supports children and adults with developmental disabilities. Horizons’ main office is located in South Windham. Horizons supports individuals across eastern Connecticut. Students from Eastern have been making positive connections and contributions via Horizons for the past 20 plus years including community service, employment, media projects and internships.

The mission of the Horizons/ECSU Transition Education Partnership is to provide students with disabilities who currently attend local high schools with their transition education on the campus of Eastern. The focus of this transition education is three fold: academic access, vocational/career development and campus membership/community access. Horizons Transition Educational Services focuses on vocational/ career development, community access and independent living skills.

Students have been working on refining their job development skills over the course of the year by participating in community-based vocational instruction settings, learning about the parts of a job application, learning about employment paperwork as well as preparing for a job interview.

Horizons would like to challenge students further by creating an interview event where they can participate in interviews with local employers.

Horizons would like to invite you to participate in the second annual event as an employer interviewing Horizons students. The event will be held May 23rd at Eastern CT State University. More information to follow. We look forward to hearing if you are interested and available to participate. Please contact Casey Lenihan at clenihan@horizonsct.org.

Sincerely,


Casey Lenihan
Director
