Dr James Poysky: Neurodiversity in Duchenne
A regular and always popular speaker at our International Conference, Dr. James Poysky is a clinical psychologist and pediatric neuropsychologist. He is an internationally recognized expert in the impact that Duchenne muscular dystrophy can have on learning, behaviour, and emotional adjustment.
Here at Action Duchenne, we support hundreds of families and help them navigate their journey with Duchenne. One of the most common challenges we hear from our families is how to manage behavioural and learning differences.
James Poysky will deliver 2 webinars focusing on ‘Managing difficult behaviors: noncompliance, defiance, and emotional outbursts’ and ‘Preparing Now for Future Independence.’ Join James as he shares his insight, knowledge and experience not only from his extensive work but also from his role as a fellow Duchenne parent.
Knowledge is power.
