A5: Ask them to write a story in Chinese Characters. If they can't, ask them if that's because they are lazy? Or stupid? #ldchat

A4: Sometimes say nothing. Just listen. #ldchat

It's more about what you DON'T say. Don't profess to understand. Don't tell them it's easy. Don't minimize their struggle. #ldchat

A2: years and years of a lack of higher ed training. #ldchat

@EmiliePeck - Seriously?!?! Good grief. #ldchat

A1: in 130 characters? eek? It's not real. It's a vision problem. It's an excuse. It's laziness in disguise. It's rare. #ldchat

ADHD = Busy Brain, Busy Mouth, Busy Butt, All the Time + exhausted mom. EF = Not ALL THE TIME + perplexed mom. #ldchat

A4 - Hypersensitive defenses: any and all input is perceived at criticism, and reacted to as such, leaving friends baffled. #ldchat

A4 - slight withdrawal from some interactions as they play out because intent is unclear....having fun? or making fun? #ldchat

A3 -Any multi sensory approach will help #ldchat

A1 - Again for writing - a headset for dictation, so they can look away from the print and just...talk. Then support with editing. #ldchat

A1 - For writing, Images to Mind Map to Dictation. #ldchat

A2: Break it down...whatever IT is. Small steps to get to the whole. One step at a time. #ldchat

A1 - Significantly. I think EF struggles take just as much, if not more, of a social/emotional toll at school and at home. #ldchat

Q6: Kurzweil #ldchat

A4: New favorite app is knfb Reader. If they add a cropping feature, it will be even better. #ldchat
