Too much information
Well I just got home from the first day of my training for lay advocate for special education - WOW - so much information to take in. I feel as though I have finally found my "spot". There was so much frustration in the room with these parents desperately trying to get their beloved children the help they need and DESERVE. I wanted to stay there for days. The president of the Long Island Chapter of the International Dyslexia Association was by far my favorite speaker. While I felt empowered with my new found knowledge, I also felt scared for my son's future. The sad reality is he will never be able to catch up to his grade level unless he gets the right education from this day forward. That breaks my heart.

Scared for your son? With an incredible Mom like yourself you will bring him to where he needs to be.Education is key that is why we need to be the voices for our children. My son has dyspahsia and I know first hand the trials of a child's disabilty. Congrats to you Christine for doing this............ advocating for your son and all children who suffer with a disability!
