DVD Reviews of Beyond F.A.T. City: A Look Back, A Look Ahead
DVD Review: A Must Have!
Summary: 5 Stars
"F.A.T. City" and "Beyond F.A.T. City: A Look Back, A Look Ahead"
These two videos should be considered a "must" see for parents with an LD child. After viewing these, parents should gift the school with a copy. All educators and staff, including the principals, teachers, secretaries and custodians should be required to view these. Let's get the discussion started and everyone will win.
DVD Review: All teachers need to see this -it may be old, but it's still spot on
Summary: 5 Stars
This video should be seen by every teacher. Parents with LD kids, too. Anyone - because all of us have something, some more than others. What struck me the most is Lavoie's statement that what is "fair," in terms of special treatment for LD kids versus non LD kids has nothing to do with making sure things are equal for all, but that each kid gets what he or she needs. That's what fair really is. The simulation was very revealing as to how LD kids perceive things and how teachers (and parents) can make or break their learning experience. He shed a lot of light and I appreciate the awareness I gained from it. We've barely scraped the surface since this video was made in how we approach these kids. DVD Review: Excellent DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
As an elementary school teacher, this DVD was extremely helpful in learning more about some students' behaviors. Also it was helpful in organizing information to discuss with parents during conferences. The examples Rick Lavoie and audience members use to describe the various frustrations that learning disabled kids have is eye-opening. This is an excellent follow-up to the F.A.T. video/DVD. DVD Review: A terrific approach to a child with learning disabilities
Summary: 5 Stars
My son's psychiatrist recommended this video for us to view. It made me cry to view how my son may view the world, and learning in general. I would recommen it for every parent and educator who has to help a child with a learning disability.DVD Review: FAT City revisited
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
