Rick
Lavoie, nationally known expert on LD and ADHD, has a website at www.ricklavoie.com . He has written many articles of interest on learning, self-esteem,
social skills, ADHD, and the like. The article called "Batteries
not included" found on his website is about motivation.
Discovering what motivates another person or what you are motivated
by is useful in the learning process and in finding enjoyment in
life. What need a child
or adult is motivated by determines what s/he will find meaningful.
Rick offers ideas for what type of interactions and situations are motivating
for a person with each type of need.
