How Difficult Can This Be? F.A.T City Workshop Video Presentation
– This event is offered by the Groton-Dunstable SpEd PAC and will take place
Dec. 12th from 7:00-9:00 PM at the Groton-Dunstable High
School Library at 703 Chicopee Row, Groton. F.A.T stands for
Frustration, Anxiety, Tension – three all too-familiar feelings for children
with learning disabilities. In this workshop Dr. Richard Lavoie, a
nationally recognized expert, shows why the classroom can be an intimidating
place for these children. He leads a “group “ of parents, educators,
psychologists, and children through a series of exercises that cause
frustration, anxiety and tension (his role in the video being that of the
teacher and the “group being that of children with learning disabilities).
By dramatizing the classroom experience so vividly, Dr. Lavoie lets us see
the world through the eyes of a child. At the end of the workshop,
participants from the “group” discuss strategies for working more
effectively with learning disabled children. There will be ample time for
discussion by workshop attendees following the video presentation. This is a
practical, educational and inspirational presentation for ALL parents,
educators, paraprofessionals and administrators – a “must see.” For more
