Position Papers
Dyslexia May Be Like Being Left Handed
The following is an essay I recently wrote for a class I attended at National University. It is my opinion teachers need training in a multitude of diagnostic and prevention strategies to identify children at risk early and provide a variety of intervention strategies when traditional approaches don't work. I will support the continuing efforts of our school district in providing ongoing teacher training.
