#60: Supporting Students through Learning Challenges (With Delphine Rule)

Episode Summary

Have you ever wondered what to do when a child in your class has a learning disability? How does one adequately ensure that the child maintains a strong sense of self, in spite of the fact that he or she may feel as though he/she is losing a race. What about parents? How do we support parents in navigating the rocky terrain related to having a child with learning difficulties? If you've ever taught or had a child with learning challenges, you're going to love this conversation. You'll learn some of the practical adaptations you can do at home and school. You'll also learn the one thing you'll need heading into a parent-teacher conference. Delphine Rule is the mother of three children, two of whom have ADHD as well as learning disabilities. And she, herself, has a learning disability. She has spent the last 14 years working with students with learning challenges, both in and out of the classroom. Parents often have questions that are not always answered. Her goal is to be that support and sounding board for families through Access to Education.
