Hi everyone! I'm here to help. I'm a #dylsexicmom of 3 ND kids and I have a PhD in #specialeducation. Follow along for insights from both my personal & professional life.

Happy #OctoberAwarenessMonth! October is Awareness month for several things near & dear to my heart. I'll be posting lots this month sharing things you may find useful about #ADHD, #Autism, #Dyslexia, #DownsSyndrome & #LearningDisabilities!

Have you ever been told your child will out grow their #Dyslexia? This doesn't happen, but hopefully they will learn strategies to support it. Watch Jan Hasbrouck, Ph.D. and I discuss this myth: youtube.com/watch?v=wEK44S… #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth

Sometimes it feels like those with those with #ADHD can't ever focus, but in reality they can. Learn more about this myth by watching this youtu.be/5VR8cH3i4Do #ADHDAwarenessMonth

Coke bottling is something that happens a lot at my house. School can be so taxing on my kiddos that when they get home to a safe place, they are just ready to explode! You can learn more about why this happens by watching this youtu.be/zUfB_nHFq_c #AutismAwarenessMonth

OMG! This is the worst. I hate it when dyslexic kids/adults are told they aren't trying or that they are just lazy. I remember being told this, I've been told this about my children. It simply isn' true. Jan Hasbrouck, Ph.D. & I debunked this myth youtu.be/VNe78Lqh_7E

As a dyslexic child I was put into a few reading interventions that didn't work for me before I found one that did. This was very hard on my self esteem. Please don't just assume the interventions that are offered to your child are going to work.
