HBO is producing a TV special on learning differences, by young people, for young people, that will discuss learning disabilities from the vantage point of these children's strengths. It will be a non-traditional showcase for their talents and a celebration of their strengths, gifts and perspectives on learning as a way to inspire other young people - and also to challenge the myths about learning disabilities.

Who Are They Looking For?

The producer is looking for bright, expressive children between 8 and 16 years old who can articulate their experiences and the process of discovering their own voice, and can talk about their own talents and strengths.

How to participate:

PARTICIPANTS MUST HAVE PERMISSION OF A PARENT OR GUARDIAN TO BE CONSIDERED. If you know of a child/family who you think might be interested, please have them contact the producer at LDFilm@aol.com to learn more about the project. Interested families should include their child's age, grade, a brief synopsis of the child's learning experiences, special strength(s), and personality. All replies will be kept confidential.

REPLIES MUST BE RECEIVED BY NOVEMBER 6, 2009.
