Striking simulations allow the viewers of this dynamic video to walk in the "shoes" of a student with a learning difference. This is the #1 video for helping teachers, parents, and siblings understand the issues related to a learning disability, especially how a child feels when learning is a struggle. Richard Lavoie leads a group of parents and professionals through simulations that help the viewer perceive many of the issues faced by children who learn differently. Lavoie explains where and how misunderstandings occur and provides many helpful strategy suggestions. These suggestions often only involve a slight modification of perception by the teacher or parent but the slight change frequently will make a "world of difference" for the student who has been struggling. This video is a "must view" for any parent or teacher who wants to spend a few minutes in the shoes of their students. It is also very valuable as an in-service guide at a school teacher or parent meeting. It allows the viewer to see what they see, feel what they feel, and most importantly, share the same tensions, frustrations, anxieties and feelings of hopelessness. A viewer guide is included.
