It Can Work for You!

Participants will get a first-hand experience of what it feels like to have learning disabilities or Learning Differences. They will also learn about successful inclusion techniques that work. Participants will also learn tips and tricks for including Special Education students in their classes. They will hear stories of personal experiences as well as ideas that might be done better if done differently. Handouts will also be distributed.

So What? I Learn Differently!

This workshop will focus on services available to students classified under Special Education. Laws and documents which enable students to receive benefits will be discussed.

A resource list will be distributed to all participants.

Notes

All workshops are presented from the first-person perspective of a current Special Education teacher, who also was a Special Education student during his personal academic career.
Each workshop is individually tailored to the sponsoring organization’s wants/needs.
Every workshop is followed by a Question and Answer session with the speaker where there are no secrets.
Times range from an hour to two hours depending on the organization’s desires
