Reminder! Just one week to go till Dr. Mel Levine's lecture : The Often
Misunderstood Links between Behavior and Learning
Sunday November 30, 8:15 pm at Ohel Yona Menachem
For those not familiar with Dr. Levine's work- here is a short bio:
Dr. Mel Levine's major research and clinical interests are focused on
learning processes and the specific dysfunctions that impede the education
of many children and adolescents. He advocates a non-labeling approach, one
that pinpoints and manages students' specific breakdown points, strengths
and affinities without stigmatizing or oversimplifying them.
He is the author of A Mind at a Time, which was number one on the New York
Times bestseller list and The Myth of Laziness, dealing with children who
endure output problems. His recent book, Ready or Not, Here Life Comes, is
about individuals with what he calls "work life unreadiness" and how we can
prepare kids to become more productive and gratified adults. Throughout his
career Dr. Levine has been actively involved in the design and validation of
new diagnostic procedures and training programs that integrate neurological,
behavioral, developmental, and health findings in children with learning
difficulties. (see www.drmellevine.com <
