Dyslexia - Attention Deficit Disorders - Learning Differences: It's Not
Just Academics that keep These Adults from Succeeding
Presenter:
Robyn A. Rennick, Program Director for Dyslexia Research Institute
Description: Adults with dyslexia, ADHD, and related disorders
don't just bring to the classroom issues with academics. Since these are
truly communication disorders, these adults deal with difficulties in
learning vicariously (through experience), interpreting body language,
expressing their thoughts, time management, and problem solving.
Discover ways that you can recognize the soft skill breakdowns and learn
strategies for assisting the adult in developing more effective ways for
communicating and for dealing with these other issues. If we don't teach
them, who will? Handouts will be available prior to the webinar.
Presenter:
Robyn A. Rennick, Program Director for Dyslexia Research Institute in
Tallahassee, FL, has worked in the field of dyslexia/ADHD for 31 years
first as a teacher then as a principal and teacher trainer. She is a
Director and Teacher/Trainer in The Hardman Technique; has developed The
Dyslexia Research Institute Literacy and Life Skills Program (DRILLS),
which
addressed the literacy and life skills needs of adults who have dyslexia
and ADHD, as well as developed a DVD called The Multisensorial Study
Strategies Tool Kit, which contains 10 hour long workshops utilized by
disabled students and their tutors at the college or post secondary
level. She is past-president of both NAASLN and The Coalition of McKay
Scholarship
Schools, which is a state coalition of private schools working with
students with disabilities. |

Adult English Language Learners Who Struggle: Is it LD? What Can We Do??
Presenter: Robin Lovrien Schwarz MSpEd:LD, PhD
Description: When adult English language learners (ELLs) struggle
to learn, teachers often suspect that LD is the problem. In this webinar,
Dr. Robin Lovrien Schwarz will address three aspects of this issue: One,
how a number of factors such as culture, prior education level, first
language and physical issues (vision, hearing) interfere with learning
for ELLs and cause adult ELLs to appear to have LD. Second, how creation
of an inclusive classroom can assure that these factors are minimized
and that ALL ELLs can progress, and third, how focus on an inclusive
classroom is especially important because testing of adult ELLs for LD
is not possible, there is no special education in adult ESOL and
students who struggle must be effectively instructed in the classroom.
Presenter: For almost 30 years, Robin Lovrien Schwarz, MSpEd:LD,
PhD, has combined her extensive experience in both the fields of ESL and
learning disabilities to focus on her passion of the puzzle of adult
English language learners who struggle to learn and how best to teach
them. Dr. Lovrien Schwarz is an author, consultant and trainer to the
field, and she continues to teach adult ESOL in a variety of settings in
Downeast Maine, where she resides.
