University Instructor, Reading Specialist, Parent of Child with Learning Issues
The ABCs of Academic Success is presented by an educator with considerable knowledge and many years of broad experience in the field. Writing as a former superintendent of schools, I strongly suggest that anyone who has a child with "learning issues" will benefit from the information presented in this informational webinar. As a child-parent advocate and author, Dana Stahl is a sought after expert in the field of learning issues and how to overcome them.

This course assists parents in understanding their child’s learning issues, provides the necessary language to discuss these difficulties, and support them in working cooperatively with schools to ensure the best results for their child. Parents will find this an essential tool and resource, and will refer to it frequently.
Elementary Reading Teacher
In the course, The ABC’s of Academic Success, Stahl masterfully integrates cutting edge theory and research, with years of professional experience, with her rich, insightful and compelling vision for enhancing the lives of children and adolescents with learning issues, by providing a springboard, which enables teachers and parents to easily locate, recognize and further pinpoint areas of concern.
As a result of the information embedded in this course, parents are able to peruse strategies for home and school and begin to learn to cultivate a common educational vocabulary that allows for special education team meetings to be more productive and better understood by parents, and prepares parents to be better able to navigate the special education maze by acquiring the knowledge to be true advocates for their children.
M.Ed. Learning Specialist
Dana’s reputation as an advocate for people struggling with learning differences and the people who love them is unparalleled in this industry, but she didn’t just rest on those laurels — she actually became an author and created an on-line course so she could share her scientifically proven, factual and easy to use info with everyone! To me that is the definition of someone who took their own childhood difficulties (which she shares about on her website, etc.), turned her challenges into successes, has helped countless individuals since, and now, through the course, The ABCs of Academic Success, will be completely unselfishly helping total strangers do the most important things they can do for their kids, such as be prepared for school accommodations meetings, advocate for one’s self or ones offspring, and learn why schools do what they do.

So What is Different and Why Will This Program Work for You?
Instead of an expert who simply studied and repeats information to you, I lived the life your child is experiencing. As a child, I was diagnosed with dyslexia, and I watched my parents not have the tools, resources or information they needed to help me.

Learn More About Dana's Story
My name is Dana Stahl and I’ve been a learning specialist for over 35 years.
I more than understand your desire and need to help your child reach their full academic, social and emotional potential.
As a child, I experienced having learning disabilities in school, ( I was diagnosed as dyslexic) so I more than empathize the challenges and questions you may have about your child.
As a student with dyslexia I learned first-hand the obstacles facing students with any type of special needs as well as the frustration parents encountered because they had no information on how to bridge the gap between home and school.
What’s more, educators were often frustrated too because they did not have the tools they needed to support students with learning challenges.
So I entered the field of education to change this and make a difference. As an educational diagnostician and learning specialist for over 35 years, I work with families to help them to fully understand the results and interpretations of formal evaluations.
My work has been featured in media such as CNN, and in hundreds of parenting journals as well as on radio and television.
I work with children on developing their academic skill set and preparing them for their next educational journey. With an in-depth background in learning disabilities, I provide a wide array of academic recommendations and interventions to parents and professionals. As an educational consultant, my practice, Educational Alternatives, LLC, focuses on educational advocacy advice and school placements.
My course, The ABCs of Academic Success incorporates effective teaching strategies for parents to work with their children. Gone are the days where parents are unaware of how to help their children with homework, and understand why they are experiencing these challenges. This course guides parents in a step by step process that lets them understand the behaviors they observe in their children and what they can do to help!
The ABCs of Academic Success captures how parents and professionals can partner together to help children feel and be successful. I have designed this course to come up with solutions to creating a positive dialogue between the home and the school. There are samples letters on how to ask for help, where to seek professional support, and specific guidance how to effectively assist and advocate for your children.
As an person with a learning disability, a learning specialist who works with children, and an educational consultant who works with parents providing advice and advocacy, I am confident that the information you will learn from The ABCs of Academic Success will help you support and effectively advocate for your children allowing them to reach their full potential.
I look forward to speaking with you in the private, FREE 15 minute consultation at the end of this course.
We can talk about your child and address and questions you may have on zoom, skype, phone or email.
I’ll be with you every step of the way through the course, and it is through this team approach that together, we can help your child with learning issues feel and be successful, and delight in their academic success!
Warmly,
Dana Stahl, M.Ed.

This course is for parents who have children ages 5-13.
It includes 11 different sections allowing you to watch and learn at your own pace
Introduction
A brief summary of the course and what you can expect to know after completeing it.
Lesson 1 Understand Your Rights Under Federal Law (3:05)
The evolution of educational law secured the rights of children with disabilities guaranteeing their families access to services, advocacy, and an equal footing in obtaining a free and appropriate public school education for their children.
Lesson 2 What is the Difference between a Learning Disability and a Learning Issue? (14:07)
Explores in detail the difference between the two and how they are treated differently under the law. Through an examination of definitions, we become aware of how a learning disability differs from a learning issue.
Lesson 3 How to Manage Parent-Teacher Conferences to Achieve Favorable Results For Your Child (6:08)
The importance of the dialogue between the home and the school. By developing a partnership with your child’s teachers, common goals can be established as well as strategies to work together to help them feel successful.
Lesson 4 How Can 504 and IEP Plans Help My Child? Which One do They Need? (7:21)
The distinction between the two and the reasons some children receive a 504 Plan, and some children receive an IEP. Both plans help to service children and allow for services and accommodations that will foster academic performance.
Lesson 5 Anxiety Issues (9:05)
Explores the angst some students experience with regard to academic performance and transitions. Anxiety issues are often not apparent to parents and teachers, but their residual affect is apparent as their academic performance is not reflecting with their potential.
Lesson 6 Attention Issues (14:00)
This section explores how attention issues can undermines performance because the student’s ability to concentrate and focus on specific tasks are compromised by not being able to remain connected to what is being said or to assigned tasks.
Lesson 7 Reading Skills (11:24)
Experiencing success in academic skills requires sound production and performance in reading, writing, and math. In grades K to 2, we learn to read. In grades, 3 to 8, we read to learn. The reading skills learned in elementary school set the foundation of content based learning presented in the middle and upper school years.
Lesson 8 Writing Skills (7:53)
Writing skills are developed over time after years of carefully crafted exposure and experience to language and visual detail. Just as a baby learns to crawl before it walks and runs, children need to learn to speak, and verbally express themselves prior to mastering written language skills.
Lesson 9 Math Skills (5:43)
In this section the relationship between conceptual understanding and computational accuracy will be explored.
Lesson 10 English Learners Face Additional Challenges (8:51)
Explores the stages of acquiring a second language, the misconception that English Language Learners are often labeled as Learning Disabled and how to manage the cultural biases on assessments and school placements.
Lesson 11 Simple Tips for Parents that Teach them How to be Effective Advocates For their Children (10:29)
Empowers parents to further their understanding in how to support and help advocate for their learning disabled children. The content provides tools and a means by which parents and teachers can work together helping children reach their full potential by encouraging them to feel successful.
