5.0 out of 5 stars Should be required viewing for teachers and parents of LD students, August 14, 2006
Richard Lavoie explains the world of LD students in ways that help parents and teachers to understand the Frustration, Anxiety, and Tension that dominate their school days. As a teacher with a LD son, I have found this to be a valuable resource for me to help my son at home and I've shared this with my son's school as well since all too often I hear "If he'd just pay attention, he'd do better." Well...that's tough to do when you have a processing problem and are still on Step 1 or 2 and the teacher's gone on to Step 8 already. It's really helped my son to understand that he just learns differently and how how to ask for what he needs to help him learn.

5.0 out of 5 stars FAT City revisited, November 2, 2007
I was pleased to find some new information as well as to revisit what was originally in the FAT City video. Richard Lavoie amazes me in that he has a mantra that doesn't change over the years, but feels as fresh as the first time that I watched FAT City. I use the original video with as many teachers and teachers-in training as I can. I am never disappointed by their oohs and aahs as they either find something that lights a bulb for them or brings out an experience. This is the finest work on learning disabilities that I have ever come across. I recommend both the original and the follow-up for those who want to understand learning disabilities.

I am a teacher educator both in the US and abroad.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent for parents with LD kids, September 2, 2007
By Astrid E. Norton (Brisbane, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a parent of 2 LD kids, I found this follow up DVD full of very useful, current information. The knowledge that I gained has given me a deeper understanding of my kids, and will allow me to help them in the future.
