LD Podcast is the Internet child of Whitney Hoffman, along with Cheryl Busch and Melody Ruth. It’s still a baby—only 13 segments old and with a Web page that has been hit ˜800 times, according to a counter (counters can not be trusted but, at ˜800, it’s clear no one’s run that one up or started it at a high number)—and there are some rough spots, but parents may find it valuable. They indicate (see episode 8 on discipline; it may be misnumbered in the archives) that they hope to make evidence-based suggestions and seem to be negotiating the path to doing so. Of course, I applaud Ms. Hoffman and colleagues’ efforts, and I hope they provide reliable information for parents.
Link to the LD Podcast home page. Note that there is also an associated blog that’s different from the Web presence under the domain name. Flash of the electrons to Maria of Special Education Teacher in DC for pointing to LD Podcast (she found it via the Smartbrief of the Council for Exceptional Children; I don’t know why I’m not receiving that these days…time to investigate my spam-screening software?).
