The show, "Specific Learning Disabilities" covered such topics as common misconceptions, the different types of Learning Disabilities, as well as some of the more common symptoms indicative of further assessment, diagnosis and treatment.

Due to the overwhelming success of the show, Denton M. Kurtz, M.Ed, LSP, LMHC and his colleague Alicia N. Braccia M.S., C.A.S., L.S.P.,  are working with Brandy Robinson to produce "Doorways to Learning".
