Parent Education Workshops
We created Parent Education Workshops to provide a deeper understanding of learning disabilities and dyslexia for parents, grandparents, siblings, and other support figures.
Our staff and guest speakers share simulations, explanations, and strategies that answer your questions on learning disabilities — all in a friendly, approachable setting.
You don’t have to be the parent of a student enrolled at Churchill to attend one of our events. For more information on Churchill’s Parent Education Workshops, check out our upcoming events below or email Rachel Wheatley at rwheatley@churchillstl.org.

Churchill Center & School’s Sibling Workshop (November 2025)
CHURCHILL CENTER & SCHOOL'S SIBLING WORKSHOP:
*** Exclusively for siblings 5th grade through college-aged of Churchill day or summer school students. ***
DATE: Thursday, November 20, 2025
TIME: 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
WHERE: Churchill Center & School
1021 Municipal Center Drive | Town & Country, MO 63131
WHAT:
Sibling relationships can be complex and challenging. When a child is struggling with a learning disability, those relationships can become even more complicated.
This workshop will focus on activities that simulate what it is like to have a learning disability/dyslexia. Siblings will have the opportunity to actually experience some of the frustrations felt by children with LD via these simulated activities. We hope it will help siblings understand the daily social and academic struggles experienced by their brother or sister with a learning disorder. Some time for discussion and Q&A will be provided.
Free to attend. Must register to attend!
