"Our Children Deserve Better"
In this presentation, conducted at the International Conference.
of the Learning Disability Association of America (LDA) in Denver Colorado,
Mr. Kurtz outlined the failure of the specific learning disability programs
in the public schools to remediate those who have been identified with
the various forms of learning disabilities.
He presented the research findings on the scientifically
based research in reading which has demonstrated that as many as 40% of
the children in the specific learning disability programs could be remediated,
if they were given intensive, one on one treatment in as little as 67.5
hours.
He mentioned the work of the Kurtz
Center for Cognitive Development, which has been performing this
type of remediation for the past 16 years and also the newly formed Learning
Disability Institute which is a 501 (c)(3) non profit group designed
to train trainers and instructors in these approaches.
