Summary:  For kids with learning disabilities, the classroom can be an intimidating place.  In this video workshop, Richard D. Lavoie shows why.  He leads a group of parents, educators, psychologists, and children through a series of exercises that cause frustration, anxiety, and tension...feelings all too familiar to children with learning disabilities.  By dramatizing the classroom experience so vividly, Lavoie lets us see the world through the eyes of a child.  At the end of the workshop, participants discuss strategies for working more effectively with learning disabled children.

The movie features Richard D. Lavoie, M.A., M.Ed, a nationally known expert on learning disabilities.  He has worked in special education since 1972, as a teacher, administrator, author and consultant.

ALL Parents, staff and community members are invited to attend this community workshop.
