Working Successfully with Learning Disabled

Are you a teacher looking for more ways to reach your learning disabled students?  In this new online course, "Working Successfully With Learning Disabled Students," instructor Sara Hardin gives today's busy, hardworking teachers all the knowledge they need to meet learning disabled students' needs. 
"I'm going to teach strategies I've collected through years of teaching experience and special education training. Teachers who enroll in my course will learn easy, practical, and creative strategies that they can take straight into their classrooms," says Hardin.   
Hardin promises to dissect the whole special education process, from working with individualized education programs (IEPs) to helping students struggling with reading comprehension, math skills, and writing.  The course includes a classroom that is open day and night. Students can interact with the instructor and their fellow students in Web-based discussion areas where they can ask as many course-related questions as they'd like. A response is usually promised within one business day, and often arrives much sooner than that.  
Students can take "Working Successfully With Learning Disabled Students" from the convenience of their home or office, and at any time of the day or night.
