Meeting Description:
This webinar will provide educators and psychologists with an overarching framework for effectively diagnosing and treating reading comprehension disorders in children. There will be an overview of reading from a brain-based educational perspective, as well as a review of the neural underpinnings of literacy in children. Specific emphasis will be placed on frontal lobe functions such as executive functioning and working memory as the primary cognitive constructs that allow children to hold, manipulate, and self organize verbal information in an archived manner for more effective recall. Scores of evidenced based interventions will be
shared including specific reading comprehension programs, as well as classroom strategies and accommodations. Lastly, specific case studies should provide participants with a better understanding of how various tests of memory, language, intellectual functioning, and executive functioning can be integrated to pinpoint common reading pitfalls that hinder literacy outcomes.

E-mail, text messages, Facebook, Twitter, Evernote and other forms of electronic communication make it easier for educators to communicate with their colleagues and with students and parents. However, significant legal issues arise when educators use these forms of communication as some schools have discovered too late. School attorney Karen Haase will review recent legal decisions involving electronic communication and will provide practice suggestions on how to avoid legal problems while still using these technologies.
