Self-Advocacy Podcasts on LD@School Website

There are many reasons to visit the LD@School website, one of them being the many podcasts they release that can be listened to directly from the website or downloaded to a portable audio player and listened to at a later time.  Click the link below to take you to their Talk LD archive of podcasts and check out their newest podcasts on Self-Advocacy.  As many of you know, one of the three main goals of Sagonaska is to help our students develop the skills necessary to advocate for themselves when they return to their home schools.  Our teachers and our counselors emphasize with the students the importance of understanding themselves as a learner, identifying their strengths and knowing how to use them to overcome deficits, and determining the areas in which they need support.  Our students can vocalize what accommodations need to be in place in order for them to be successful and are willing to share with their future teachers the technology they use to demonstrate their learning in less traditional ways. The two most recent podcasts, "Supporting Students on their Self-Advocacy Journey" and "The Journey to Becoming a Self-Advocate: Three Students' Perspectives"offer some great insight and tips on how to further develop these skills.  Click the words, "Talk LD" below to take you to their site and take the time to look at some of the other podcasts they have available as well!
