A little history
I was honored to be on a panel with some folks who have had significant influence on the study of Learning Disabilities. This was a special session for the Division for Learning Disabilities at the 2008 convention of the Council for Exceptional Children. Here are two photos.
In the first photo, left to right: Hal McGrady, Shari Vaughn, Jean Lokerson, Don Deshler, Dan Hallahan, and Jean Schumaker.
In the second photo: Charlie Hughes, Naomi Zigmond, Susan Osborne, and me!
(Why am I the only one who looks worried? It’s not because I’m talking with Karen Rooney, who masterminded the assemblage of presenters for this session.)
