"Foreign Languages for Everyone is based on Professor Irene Brouwer Konyndyk's study and experience teaching foreign languages effectively to students with learning disabilities. The goal of serving at-risk students became highly personal for her when she realized that her own daughter had a learning disability but could be very academically successful with the right combination of multisensory learning experiences."
