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.

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. @janhasbrouck & I debunked this myth youtu.be/VNe78Lqh_7E

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

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

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 @janhasbrouck and I discuss this myth: youtube.com/watch?v=wEK44S… #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth
