Richard D. Lavoie Video

By watching the video about learning disabled children by Richard D Lavoie, it makes me realize that I've never noticed what goes on in their brain. Even though I'm not physically taking part of the "role play" type thing that they do, I am mentally a part of the situation going on. The video shows and explains a clear understanding of how those children cannot learn with negativity and pressure always directed at them. I found it interesting when he showed how those children take longer to process an answer. I didn't know that they had to process the question first then think of the answer. They take double the process thinking time than what an average student does. I believe that watching this video and taking notes about it will help me understand the learning disabled student(s) in my future classroom. With the facts given in the video I believe I could figure out ways to help those students learn and get rid of the anxiety they have going to class. I recommend this video to anyone who is striving to become teacher or an occupation involved with learning disabled students, it's very helpful.
