IEPs and more with Kathy Greco

If you listened to Episode 3, you simply MUST listen to this episode! Kathy talks with Elizabeth, Kim Rubinstein's daughter and co-founder of their cookie business 'Good Eats Sweet Treats' (http://www.GoodEatsCookies.com).

They have built a successful business model that they would like to share with others so that they can build independence and engagement in their communities as well. 

Teaching children to read is foundational to success in school. But what if that child is behind in their reading development or has a disability? How can a child read to learn, if they haven't learned to read? Stephanie Farris is a reading specialist with advanced training in reading education and she provides an eye-opening look into the task of teaching reading to students that will educate and surprise you.

Kathy gives an in-depth, plain-English explanation of the sometimes misunderstood issue of executive function disfunction,   so you can understand how kids and adults  are affected by it, and how you can begin to help them succeed.

Leslie is a dedicated mom and advocate who talks about early indicators that parents can be on the lookout for as their children grow from infancy into their pre-school years. She also shares a wealth of information to help us understand the way a child instinctively acts to protect themselves as they find their way in the world.

In this introduction, Kathy gives you some background on how she came to focus her law practice as well as a bit of information about herself.
