Executive Director
David S. Gordon holds a Masters of Science Degree in Special Education, and has over 18 years of experience in education.  He spent the past eight years at the Tomorrow's Children's Institute, working with children with chronic health conditions and their families, collaborating with teachers, classmates, and school district administrators to ensure each student received the best education possible.  David participates in numerous research studies, including a study of the long-term cognitive effects of leukemia treatments on children.   Anticipating completion of his Ph.D. in Special Education from Syracuse University by May 2010, David recognizes that the educational needs of children with chronic health conditions are often underserved.  He looks forward to involving parents, teachers, and students in the creation of on-line spaces that will significantly improve the education children receive.

The Educators
While many educators are involved with the Living Through Learning Foundation, one special, ongoing contributor is educational research company Performance by Design, Inc.™ (PbyD). Performance by Design's goal is to challenge and empower every learner to reach his or her optimal life potential. PbyD recognizes that their mission statement takes on special meaning for students with chronic health conditions.


The Technology Experts
This site could not exist without the support of Safari Montage Live! and the Educational Enterprise Zone (EEZ) of the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT), who recognize that innovative technology to meet the educational needs of students with chronic health conditions is a worthwhile venture. Safari Montage Live! and the EEZ provide students access to desktop video conferencing so they can stay connected to their classroom or take virtual field trips to science centers, museums, and other places of interest.

The Specialists in Chronic Health Conditions 
This site is supported by a number of hospital-based educational specialists with experience assisting students with chronic health conditions from preschool to adulthood.  A number of community organization program specialists are also contributing to The Living Through Learning Foundation's on-line content.
