Do you want a better future for children and adults with learning disabilities? That is my goal. That is why I do what I do. This is why I have created schools, written books and conducted presentations and workshops. My purpose, my meaning, is to improve the quality of life of individuals dealing with or managing their learning disabilities. We need to continue asking questions that will advance our understanding of learning disabilities. For example, can neuroscience, and the concept of brain plasticity, reshape our understanding of learning disabilities from diagnosis to intervention?

I have lived a life with severe dyslexia, first diagnosed in 1972.  Since that point I have suffered through elementary school, high school and university. Trust me, there was a lot of suffering not just within my mind, but also among my family members who had to observe what I was going through.  I have failed many times, but have been lifted back up by mentors who believed in my potential.  Today, I have the privilege of managing schools that are transforming the lives of children and adults with learning disabilities.  Follow my blog, engage in conversations, and learn how a better future is possible for all those with diagnosed learning disabilities.
