Ask Dr. Applewhite

Most teachers, from elementary to college levels, are able to identify when students have difficulty learning, within the first weeks of a semester. However, employers and co-workers are not able or qualified to identify employees with Learning Disabilities unless the person is willing to ask for an accommodation.

Students in classes from pre-school to graduate levels experience the

impact of stress related to war, violence, and/or trauma. However,

stress is subjective and all human beings react differently based on

their genetic make-up, personality, experiences, and environment.

Adult Learners with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and

Depression experience even greater stress and anxiety handling

everyday pressures of work and school schedules. In addition, the

competition for present and future jobs is another source of great

stress for most Adult Learners. Dr. Applewhite and guests will discuss

ways to minimize the impact of stress reported by Adult Learners and

Student Veterans regarding conflicts in Syria, Iran, Afghanistan,

African countries and other places around the world. Listen to the

This show is focused on the discrimination found with student loan debt, financial aid, and the lack of accommodations promised at admission. Several students, Veterans, teachers, and supporters of White Apple Institute lead the discussion about how they have been denied completion of their educational goals because of discrimination related to their disability. Most deficits seen in learning disabled adult students are identified in math, reading, and writing classes and require re-testing. Many who do not test with appropriate accommodations either drop-out or are forced out, leaving them underemployed and burdened with student loan debt.  Listen to the episodes of the Student2teacher show any day of the week by visiting    http:// blogtalkradio.com/student2teacher .  To learn more about how you can support our students and veterans with disabilities with succeeding  in the workforce visit  http://www.whiteappleinstitute.org
