As a parent of children with ADD, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia and Scotopic
Sensitivity Syndrome, I have found myself searching for resources since the oldest was
in preschool. With a background in Special Education and Reading, as well as teaching
experience across 30 years, in clinical, college, high school and middle school situations, I
have been fortunate to have networked with many professionals and located
information that I feel would be useful to other parents and teachers.
For me, this information has given me hope, resources and the freedom to make choices
that benefit my children, as well as my students in circumstances that sometimes can be
considered overwhelming. Please keep in mind that when you have a student (child)
who is having difficulty academically, or otherwise, there is usually more than one piece
to the puzzle. In most instances, no one solution will solve what is going on.
