Winkler has turned his challenges into a passion for advocating for children with learning disabilities through his support of numerous associations including the Special Olympics and United Friends of the Children, and his continuous work to raise awareness of the challenges many students face every day.
“We’re thrilled to announce that Henry Winkler will be the keynote speaker at LRP’s National Institute in 2020,” said Julie J. Kline, Esq., Executive Director, Education Content, LRP Publications. “Last year’s Institute keynote, actress, author, and activist Marlee Matlin, told attendees that Henry Winkler inspired her to follow her dream, and they had to hear him speak to understand his passion about children who learn differently. His personal story will uplift and surprise you.”
