It was an integrated class of "regular" students and other students with learning disabilities. Sure, we all had our challenges, but it was worth keeping kids who needed extra help and some accommodations in a normal class setting outside their special E.D. tutoring.Jay Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04757777693161610861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568183101637683554.post-55425294344203493132014-02-25T12:25:42.215-05:002014-02-25T12:25:42.215-05:00What a fantastic interview.

For the first time things came together in my head just knowing I was not dumb. I knew certain things were a struggle for me but somehow without someone helping me I learned to learn a different way.

My book, DYSLEXIA: A TEACHER'S JOURNEY, Memoir, (www.amazon.com) is written by a nondyslexic. I write from the standpoint of a teacher who has been an advocate for persons with dyslexia for many years. I have seen the lack of understanding, neglect, and even abuse of dyslexic students in which I portray in a sad but sometimes amusing way in my book. For a person with dyslexia, life can be a painful journey but, oh, what creativity and potential is there to be untapped. <br />Lature1445https://www.blogger.com/profile/15966045662292121894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568183101637683554.post-14064200731366197962014-02-22T07:20:11.531-05:002014-02-22T07:20:11.531-05:00Congrats and good luck to Kate!Congrats and good luck to Kate!The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568183101637683554.post-87978645303999080162014-02-22T06:34:44.301-05:002014-02-22T06:34:44.301-05:00Yay for Kate and her book.

I don't have a learning disability myself, but my daughter has pretty severe ADD. I heard complaints from her teachers starting in Kindergarten, but it was her 4th grade teacher that finally clued in as to why she was different. All through school, it was just shocking over and over again as I would see her medicine wear off before my eyes and see her physically unable to focus long enough to complete any kind of homework. She got awesome scores on her standardized tests and her ACT, but she says she just can't do college, it's too much of a struggle. And despite her intelligence, high school was a terrible struggle, because she could never remember assignments or complete them or remember to bring them back in.<br />And I think, how awful it must be to live like that, but this is my daughter's world every day.Remembering Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760441035721518260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568183101637683554.post-9660494477573164462014-02-21T23:31:14.662-05:002014-02-21T23:31:14.662-05:00Great interview!
