What is auditory processing? How are auditory processing issues identified and remediated? How is auditory processing related to language and learning? There are many questions about auditory processing, as well as confusion in the use of terminology – auditory processing, language processing, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. This complex topic needs to be better understood if parents and teachers are to meet the day-to-day needs of children who have listening, learning, and/or language problems related to aspects of processing. Lydia H. Soifer, Ph.D., a language pathologist with over 35 years’ experience in clinical and private practice and university teaching, will provide up-to-date information to help parents be more informed advocates for their children. Dr. Soifer is the Director of the Soifer Center for Learning and Child Development, a multidisciplinary diagnostic, remedial and advocacy setting of psychologists, language and speech pathologists, special educators, reading teachers, parent trainers, and advocates. She is Assistant Clinical Professor of Pediatrics and faculty member in the Early Intervention Training Institute, both at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. In 1998 Dr. Soifer was appointed the Executive Director of the Children’s Development and Education Foundation (renamed the Best Children’s Foundation). She has consulted with many public and private schools across the country, authored a chapter on the relationship of oral language to literacy for a textbook now in its third edition, and created the language assessment portion of a software product, WordWeaver for Speech and Language Assessment. 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at West Rocks Middle School (in the auditorium), 81 West Rocks Road, Norwalk, CT.

Liz: It should be "...Crush List that lets users...". When you type 'let's', it means 'let…Read More us'.

Hmm. Okay, so let me get this straight: if a legal American citizen drives drunk and kills someone,…Read More this is bad according to MADD. But if an illegal alien does likewise, they (MADD) turn away and feign ignorance. I see. Yes, that makes perfect sense. Of course.

The concluding paragraph from the item above: "Hopefully her 30-day experience will remove her…Read More fear of firearms and help her recognize that the vast majority of American firearms owners have taken to their responsibility with the necessary seriousness and gravity required. Maybe she’ll also learn that no matter how many laws you pass, you can’t regulate irresponsibility out of existence. Grown-ups still have to be grown-ups. Maybe she will also learn how the Bill of Rights is supposed to work, and how one amendment strengthens another. At a minimum, people like Heidi Yewman should be passingly familiar with the Constitutional rights they’re agitating to take away from their fellow citizens."

A simple truth: when those who call Christ as King do that which He has commanded, we realize that…Read More none of us need the government's handouts, which is just a 'slave to the lender' mindset.

never forget Newtown...!! (RNS) Each Father’s Day, Neil Heslin and his son, Jesse Lewis, used…Read More to go to a car show.
But that tradition died when 6-year-old Jesse was shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
This Father’s Day, Heslin, who has been active with other Sandy Hook parents in pushing for gun control legislation, is giving his support to the No Father’s Day campaign.
Speaking at a media teleconference to launch the campaign, Heslin said, “Jesse was my only child, my only immediate family. I don’t have a father to share Father’s Day with.”
Initiated by PICO National Network’s Lifelines to Healing Campaign, the campaign asks participants to send e-cards to Congress, urging passage of legislation to create universal background checks and end gun trafficking.

From linked article_______ "The victims “have a financial uncertainty, they need the…Read More money,” Feinberg said. “You have to say, ‘Here’s the money, here’s what we’re doing with it.’”
Some Newtown families say that didn't happen in their town. Lafferty-Hassinger posted to Facebook her frustration about the United Way requiring "proof of hardship" to determine how to distribute funds:
"We shouldn't have to fight for what is rightfully ours, but we won't be taken advantage of in our darkest hour," she wrote. "We've all been walking a fine line between not wanting to profit from the death of our loved ones and not wanting someone else to profit from our source of grief. We went down when we were kicked, but we are Sandy Hook. It's time to stand back up."___________ I reckon my questions are thusly: What financial uncertainty is there in the death of a child, AND since when did money that is donated privately become something that is 'rightfully' belonging to someone else due to a tragedy that is not a natural event like a tornado or hurricane?
