student
We laid the foundation for this event in our first TEDxYMCAAcademy -- "The Art and Science of Learning Disabilities". In our second TEDxYMCAAcademy, "The Heart and Soul of Learning Disabilities", we will hear about the challenges and successes of students who learn differently. This event is hosted by The YMCA Academy, a high school in central Toronto, serving students with learning differences.

What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxYMCAAcademy, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxYMCAAcademy event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
