FASD Hope is a podcast series about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), through the lens of parent advocates with over eighteen years of lived experience.
On the ninth episode of FASD Hope, (Podcast Host) Natalie Vecchione speaks with Jennifer Donaldson of Tailor Joy Tutoring. Jennifer Donaldson has worked as an educator teaching elementary school, subbing at all grade levels in both typically developing / special education classes and private tutoring. Jennifer "retired" from the elementary classroom when her aging parents needed more care and she became a tutor. She is the owner and tutor of Tailor Joy Tutoring, which offers a hybrid approach to tutoring.
Jennifer discusses her experience in tutoring students with brain-based diagnoses (including FASD) and with students who learn differently. During this episode, Natalie and Jennifer explore the following topics: focusing on strengths versus focusing on deficits, simple strategies that parents can use to discover the gifts / abilities in their child, ways in which parents can "meet the child where he/she is at developmentally", the importance of creative thinking and strategies to incorporate creative thinking at home. On a comical note, you'll hear Jennifer completely stump Natalie during a "real life example" of using a creative thinking strategy to reinforce educational concepts!
"The Lord is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works. All Your works shall praise You, O Lord, and Your saints shall bless You." -Psalm 145:9-10
