In healthcare, physicians are often taught to ask the question, "Is home a safe place?" in regards to domestic abuse. Abuse in the home can extend beyond the physical trauma one may experience and can touch each of the seven domains of one's health. Ellie Goldberg, Assistant Director of Advocacy for the Victim-Survivor Advocacy Program at University of Utah, joins this episode of 7 Domains of Women's Health to talk about domestic abuse and its impact on a victim-survivor's life, and the lives of those around them. The National Domestic Violence Hotline can be reached at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233). If you are in immediate danger, call 911.

If your child has allergies, it is important to have the child’s school engaged as a good- health partner. When starting a new school, the time to get acquainted with the school is the springtime before. Ellie Goldberg shares with us in a Senior Dad Brief that lasts 10 minutes 50 seconds. “How to prepare for a new school year for a child with allergies.”

The city council of Santa Monica withheld funds from their school district because the city council was uncomfortable with all the non-disclosure agreements that the school district was requiring to settle special education lawsuits. What are non-disclosure agreements (gag orders) and who do they help and who do they harm?Three experienced special education advocates join me in conversation: Ellie Goldberg, advocate, author and legislative chair of the Massachusetts PTA; Pat Howey, advocate and nationally known special needs presenter at WrightsLaw seminars; and Katy Franklin, advocate and a leading voice towards revising the San Francisco Unified School District’s educational practices towards children with extra needs. They explore the Santa Monica case and discuss actions by other school districts that not only harm the children the school districts are entrusted to teach, but cause all taxpayers to pay more to compensate for their school districts improper education strategies. All this, in light of current special education enrollment at 10–12 % and rising rapidly, due to epidemics of allergies and autism. As I listened to this show I developed a feeling of unease. I always thought that school district administrative personnel were working with the best interests of educating the child. I now question the validity of that feeling. I think all of us should explore if the administrators in our school districts have lost touch with that goal. This is a difficult issue to visit. We all want to trust. We all want to believe. To gag or not gag, that is the question.

When school districts create short lists to evaluate their progress with their small schools, or want a road map to move toward small learning environments, or a coach or consultant to help them refine their small school directions, these short lists have one thing in common. That common element is Inquiry and Learning For Change, based in Oakland, California. John Watkins, Principal of the firm joins me to talk about small schools and a wide range of topics about how our schools and learning environments are changing and the political conditions that may help or inhibit this process.

Amber LamprechtLearning and reading are unquestionably tied together. No doubt someone can learn without knowing how to read but it makes the acquisition of information a lot harder. Amber Lamprecht specializes in teaching different types of learners how to read. One of of techniques she uses is multi-sensory learning. We discuss this as well as how the 20 percent of our population that are dyslectic-thinkers need to be trained to use their talents to learn to read. We also focus on the effects on children when we delay addressing the issues around learning to read until later grades. Amber shares with us what parents should look for as signs that their child may need additional help in learning to read.
