Learning Disabilities Podcast Interview with Rich Weinfeld

Friday, December 15, 2006 - by JMcIntosh - 589 Views - 3 Comments - Category: Parenting Gifted Children

The LD Podcast is a fantastic resource for those of you who parent or teach kids with learning difficulties. The site offers information and support in the form of a blog and an ongoing series of podcasts on various issues related to learning difficulties. While the LD Podcast bills itself as a resource "for parents by parents of kids with learning disabilities," I think it also offers some great information for teachers, as well.

Recently, the LD Podcast featured a podcast with one of Prufrock's most popular authors, Rich Weinfeld. Rich is a coauthor of Smart Kids with Learning Difficulties: Overcoming Obstacles and Realizing Potential, and Helping Boys Succeed in School. In the interview, Rich discusses how we identify kids with learning disabilities, how parents can talk with teachers and administrators to make sure their child is getting what they need while forging constructive relationships, and when a parent might want to consider an educational advocate.

Dear Joel-

Thank you so much for the mention! Rich was a wonderful guest, and I'd be happy to have other people interested in gifted education on the show!
