Being a mentor or having one can be an extremely rewarding experience, particularly for students who have learning differences. In this article I discuss what it's like to be or have a mentor and why it's important. The mentoring relationship is something I have always been interested in, and this past year I created a mentoring program at a local non profit organization (not specifically for students with learning differences). I often talk to students and their families about various forms of support, several of which are not academic. Many times support is needed in other areas of life that can be impacted by learning differences such as social or emotional functioning.
