Jennifer and I are excited to begin a journey to learn more about what help is available for people with learning disabilities to level the playing field and help promote understanding and kindness towards those that have a learning disability. Please join us as we blog about our journey, our joys and our frustrations.

20%of our population has some kind of dyslexia. Most of us know someone who has some or all the symptoms of not being able to decode words to be able to read. This does not mean they will never learn. It does mean they learn differently. They can remain stuck in the OLD paradigm or ride the front of the NEW wave and learn ways to level the playing field.

Living with a learning disability should not be shameful.  Unfortunately, the stereotypical world has relegated itself to a bottom-line viewpoint that is shortsighted and cynical. Far too often, people forget that real, living human-beings are behind the numbers and are dealing with the frustrations of not being able to read, short term memory issues and more but that these people also normally deal with low self esteem issues from years of feeling they are stupid. They do not fit into the system and are dealing with they are the problem rather than the systems we have created. We should help all are children and not let a % to deal with bullying, picking on and stereo typical labeling.
