Dr. Lynda Katz
"Frustrated Brilliance" Tips, Tricks, and Strategies in working with AD/HD students Tuesday, October 17, 2006 Mustang Library Auditorium 10101 N 90th St., Scottsdale, AZ 85258 7:00pm – 8:30pm (doors open at 6:45) $5 per family, no fee for educators Dr. Lynda Katz, President of Landmark College in Putney, Vermont is a nationally recognized expert in learning Disabilities with AD/HD in adolescents and adults and continues to operate her own practice as a psychologist by evaluating students for special education accommodations throughout the country. She will discuss what it means to be "twice exceptional" (gifted with learning challenges) and will present practical recommendations using examples from the experience of four 2E (twice exceptional) students who underperformed in high school and were able to perform successfully at Landmark College. Strategies that worked to turn around the academic performance of these individuals with learning challenges, including the roles and benefits of various assistive technologies, will be presented. This talk will be useful for parents of gifted students who struggle with organization and study skills, for parents of 2E students, and for parents of students (with any level of intelligence) who are challenged with learning disabilities or AD/HD. Dr. Katz has authored and co-authored scores of reference articles, book chapters, and other publications in the area of psychiatric rehabilitation, mental retardation, rights of developmentally disabled, vocational assessment, achievement testing, learning disabilities and attention deficit hyperactivity. She has also presented her research findings at numerous international seminars. Her book, Learning Disabilities in Older Adolescents and Adults: Clinical Utility of the Neuropsychological Perspective, which she co-authored, was published in 2001.
