You seem to write and spell well, particularly with the language disabilities you describe.

As a language therapist, I work with scores of students who possess myriad learning differences. With encouragement, multisensory teaching methodologies, and an ability to build upon their strengths, they can develop the skills needed to succeed academically.

These kiddos need more than cookie cutter lessons in overcrowded classrooms. One size fits nobody, particularly when learning differences exist.

Encouragement and skilled teachers are what students need the most. Folks who tend to point fingers and place blame aren’t going to teach anyone how to read.

Congratulations on finding a way to overcome the difficulties you have faced. Often, students with learning differences are among the most resilient, smartest, and creative kids in the building.

Unlike what freedumb said about my parents failing me I just have to say that if I didn’t have the parents I have I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish everything I have. I’ve never used my learning disabilities as en excuse to fail. I graduated college, have my real estate license, am a stay at home mother of two boys, a wife of a great guy, etc... I doubt likely I would be where I am if my parents failed me.
