Supporting Students and Veterans with a Learning Disability

 ATTENTION: EMPLOYEES ADULT STUDENTS Ask Dr. Applewhite the following questions:  Do you hide your Learning Disability in the classroom and the workplace? How do you explain how hard it is to read, write, solve problems it to a school adviser or an employer?  What kind of accommodations do you need to keep up your performance? Are you, or someone you know, embarassed because you don't learn at school and work like others? Adult Students and Veterans Ask Dr. Applewhite about how to deal with prejudices when it is obvious you have difficulty learning in the classroom or on the job, 'like everyone else'? Special Guest Dr. Beverly Poellnitz, Educator, Maricopa Community College District joins Dr. Danita Applewhite, Student Veterans, employers and educators as they discuss managing work, going to classes, and the embarassment of talking about having a Learning Disability. Previously aired.. The White Apple Institute Talk Show, is produced by the students of White Apple Institute (a Veteran operated nonprofit 501 c 3). We are dedicated to restoring hope and preventing underserved adult students with emotional challenges and disabilities from dropout/burnout from school, work, and LIFE! Let's encourage even those who have been out of the classroom for some time, to  "Take a bite of White Apple Wisdom and change the perception of 'disabled to differently-abled' to achieve their goals in higher education and succeed in the workforce!  Learn more about how to volunteer and sponsor a student veteran in the "Place your B.E.T.S. on our VETS" crisis intervention program.
