Here are a few individuals that I have heard speak and I felt their messages were very good, inspirational, educational and had HOPE.
-Dr. Sam Goldstein (Salt Lake City, Utah) author, doctor. One particular book I liked was: “Raising Resilient Children”
-Dr Ross Greene of MA. Website: Thinkkids.org. Author of The Exposive Child.
-Alfie Kohn. A really engaging speaker that addresses learning differnces in children.
From his web site:
Alfie Kohn writes and speaks widely on human behavior, education, and parenting. The author of eleven books and scores of articles, he lectures at education conferences and universities as well as to parent groups and corporations. Really makes you think twice about what you believe and is inspirational to teachers .
-Richard LaVoie. Inspirational and though provoking speaker regarding issues realted to children with learning disabilites and learning differences.
Bio from his website as follows:
Richard Lavoie, M.A., M.Ed.
Rick Lavoie has served as an administrator of residential programs for children with special needs since 1972. He holds three degrees in Special Education and has served as an adjunct professor or visiting lecturer at numerous universities including Syracuse, Harvard, Gallaudet, Manhattanville College, University of Alabama and Georgetown. His numerous national television appearances include CBS Morning Show, Good Morning Amedca, ABC Evening News and Disney Channel Presents.
Rick serves as a consultant on Learning Disabilities to several agencies and organizations including Public Broadcasting Service, New York Times, National Center for Learning Disabilities, Girl Scouts of America, Child Magazine and WETA. He is a member of the Professional Advisor Board of the Learning Disabilities Association.
Rick has delivered his message to over 500,000 parents and professionals throughout North America. He has the distinction of having delivered Keynote Addresses for all three of the major special needs advocacy organizations in the United States (Learning Disabilities Association, Council for Exceptional Children, Children with Attention Deficit Disorder).
Rick has held administrative positions at residential programs for thirty years. These experiences at residential school have provided Rick with a “living laboratory” in which he developed and refineed his methods and philosophies related to the education of adolescents with special needs.
Rick is probably best known for his videos “How Difficult Can This Be?: The F.A.T. City Workshop” and “Last One Picked, First One Picked On: The Social Implications of Learning Disabilities”. These award-winning films have brought Rick’s sensitive and compelling message to countless thousands throughout the world. After viewing the videos, former First Lady Barbara Bush stated, “You really wowed us! I only wish that every parent and teacher in the United States today could also see your program.” His new video on behavior management is entitled “When the Chips are Down …” is now available through LD OnLine.
A few of the lectures I have gone to and really enjoyed.
Good luck glad to see your programming and website has developed so well! Really informative! A lot of work on your part. Kudo’s
Best wishes,
