Il est l'auteur des livres Allers simples : Aventures journalistiques en post-soviétie (2012), Ukraine à fragmentation (2015), Avant l'après : voyages à Cuba avec George Orwell (2018) et Frères amis, frères ennemis (2018), coécrit avec son frère Jasmin Lavoie. À titre de journaliste, il collabore avec les médias québécois depuis longtemps. Dans le cadre de l'entretien, je lui ai demandé d'apporter un extrait du manuscrit sur lequel il travaillait pour nous en faire la lecture et de nous parler d'une référence importante dans son processus d'écriture. Frédérick a changé d'idée trois fois. Puis le matin de notre rencontre, il m'a écrit pour me dire qu'il voulait parler du livre Sur les bouts de la langue : traduire en féministe-s de Noémi Grunenwald, publié en 2021 aux éditions de la Contre Allée.

In today's show, Sharon and I discuss how you might go about getting help for your child in school. Part of this is understanding the first steps, called Response to Intervention, or RTI. Teachers are supposed to try different, research-based interventions with the child in the classroom, to see if the child improves, before referring the child for possible testing and evaluation for special education services, that might require developing a special education program, commonly called an Individualized Education Plan or Program (IEP).As part of this show, I have put together a list of common modifications and accommodations that are typically made for kids in the classroom- think of this as a "menu" of sorts of possible, but not exclusive, changes that can be made to help your child. You can find this list and links to other resources under the link "Accommodations Guide".We have our big holiday book give away coming- and I hope you will are participate! Here are the rules:1. The give away closes December 15, 2008.2.
