LD OnLine Report

October 2006

FIRST INSPIRATION AWARDS

BE INSPIRED BY OUR AWARD WINNERS

In honor of our tenth anniversary, LD OnLine has chosen three

winners of the first ever Inspiration Awards. They were selected

because they epitomize innovation, hard work, and success in the

field of learning disabilities - or have overcome their own

learning disabilities and are now an inspiration to others.

Visit the LD OnLine Web site to read their amazing stories - we

hope they inspire you as much as they did us.

This year's winners are:

+ Individual / D. Deshler, Ph.D.

Director of the Center for Research on Learning at the

University of Kansas. Dr. Deshler has spent his life helping

people who have learning disabilities. He has developed a

curriculum of strategies that help students who have trouble

with reading, writing, and math, and his strategies are also

used to help students who have trouble getting along with other

people. He trains both teachers and students and leads programs

that change entire local school systems.

+ Organization / Hall Tremaine Foundation

The Tremaine Foundation made millions of parents and

children aware of the intelligence and creativity of people with

learning disabilities through a national public awareness

campaign. The Foundation now takes the lead in early

intervention, believing that it is important to find out whether

or not children have learning disabilities early enough to help

them now so they can learn better for the rest of their lives.

+ Celebrity / R. " Jack " Horner

Dr. Horner is an expert in dinosaurs who is best known for

his amazing discoveries -- the first dinosaur eggs in the

Western hemisphere and the world's largest Tyrannosaurus Rex. He

was the technical advisor to Spielberg's movie " Jurassic

Park " and its sequel, " The Lost World " . He has learning

disabilities and has shared the story of his learning

differences in many settings. He did not get a college degree,

but earned a MacArthur " genius " fellowship.

FEATURED ARTICLE FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

+ IDEA Regulations: Identification of Specific Learning

Disabilities

This article from the Department of Education explains all

the changes in the new law about special education. It is very

technical, but it is important that parents, teachers, and

students with learning disabilities themselves learn this

material to be up to date about their rights and

responsibilities. If it does not make sense to you, study it

with people who are familiar with the special education laws.

http://pbsmail.org/ct/hdqHYS91Cmmf/ideareg

FEATURED ARTICLE FOR PARENTS

+ How Parents Can Be Advocates for Their Children

As your child's best advocate, you are in a unique

position to identify and implement positive changes. This

article gives advice on how to be effective such as:

* Know the rules.

* Keep records.

* Gather information.

* And communicate effectively.

http://pbsmail.org/ct/h1qHYS91Cmmr/advocate

FEATURED ARTICLE FOR TEACHERS

+ Handwriting Club

One teacher tells his story setting up a handwriting club

that helped his students with sensory integrative disorder. The

article has lots of practical information about teaching

handwriting such as:

* Teach your students correct posture.

* Play relaxation music in the background while they

work.

* Scented markers can help them remember.

http://pbsmail.org/ct/n1qHYS91Cmmt/handwriting

FEATURED ARTICLE FOR PEOPLE WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES

+ Who Do You Tell About Your Disability?

In telling other people about your disability, you should

anticipate misunderstandings and have information ready that

will correct these misconceptions. This article gives tips about

how to disclose successfully in the workplace and in other

settings.

http://pbsmail.org/ct/hpqHYS91Cmm5/tell

-----------------------------------------------------

TELL US ABOUT THE POSITIVE SIDE OF LEARNING DISABILITIES!

Continuing the theme of the Inspiration Awards, we are

considering doing a Thanksgiving feature on being thankful for

learning disabilities. Please send us your brief stories or

anecdotes especially if:

+ You are a parent and have a story about your child and

their unique and creative approach to the world.

+ You are a person with a learning disability and can share

how it has made you stronger or better.

+ You are a teacher and can tell us how one or more of your

students has enriched your life or has inspired you.

They can be short or long, well-written or quickly typed and

sent to us. If you are a helping professional, counselor, friend

or ally of people with learning disabilities, we want your

comments too. If you want us to use your name should your story

be selected, please tell us and include your name and title.
