dysgraphia

This is the first of a two part series where I will introduce you to the most common types of specific learning disabilities or SLDs.

Part one is about Dysgraphia and Dyscalculia.

• Dysgraphia is a learning disability that impacts writing abilities.  And we’re not talking about just having poor handwriting, this goes well beyond that.  Dysgraphia can also impair spelling, and getting thoughts onto paper.  
• Dyscalculia is a learning disability that affects the part of your brain that processes number information and therefore impacts your ability to do math

Listen to find out the signs for each and what types of supports and accomodations can help.

Our next Q&A is all about ACT/SAT Testing Accommodations, a topic of great concern to those with high schoolers.

Today we will be answering important questions like: Which test should my student take? How do I apply for accommodations? What kinds of accommodations could I possibly apply for? Is there anyone who can help with this process?

You can ease your mind about ACT/SAT testing accommodations as I am including links to all the relevant information and necessary forms to apply for ACT/SAT accommodations in the Show Notes.

I am also including a link to my Boost Packet: Planning, Organizing, Documenting Your Homeschool: The Neurodivergent Way. This is a great tool to help you document along the way so applying for these accommodations will not be so overwhelming.

And if you still feel overwhelmed, you can check out my Special Needs Membership. It is a great way to get some help documenting along the way. And if you reach the high school years and still feel overwhelmed, I can walk with you through every step of the way!

Join me today as I help you chart a path towards your student's future!

About Lynn and Jonathan

Lynn Greenberg is the happiest wife, mom, and grandma. A very retired attorney who loves to cook, exercise, and read, she has seen how positivity with feelings and differences can allow children to grow into happy, productive adults. During COVID-19, when many families were living together with an abundance of unscheduled free time, Lynn and her son Jonathan, who has dyslexia, began to work on the concepts and ideas for Robby. As ideas developed, they became increasingly invested in the character, his story, and the impact this endeavor could have on others. 

Born with dyslexia, Jonathan Greenberg could not read and write like many other children his age. So, instead of giving in to frustration, Jonathan used his struggle as a catalyst for creativity, expressing his ideas through art. Having overcome his learning difficulty, Jonathan has fallen in love with reading. Robby the Dyslexic Taxi And The Airport Adventure exemplify Jonathan’s passion for writing and illustration. Together with Lynn, his mother, and his writing partner, they are already thinking of other stories featuring neurodiverse characters that complement this book.

In today's episode, Cheri engages in a profound conversation with Russell Van Brocklen, a dyslexia specialist from Westlake, New York. Russell shares his unique journey of overcoming dyslexia and details his innovative approach, known as the Writing Method, which has significantly improved the writing skills of high school students with dyslexia. Dive into a discussion that spans from personal struggles to groundbreaking research, providing listeners with an in-depth understanding of dyslexia, dysgraphia, and related conditions. This episode is a must-listen for educators, parents, and anyone interested in the neurobiology of learning disabilities.

Bio: Russell combined the brain research in Overcoming Dyslexia by Sally Shaywitz with the three default writing strategies in Strategies for Struggling Writers by James Collins while in graduate school.  As a result, his initial research program was funded by the New York State Senate and is owned by the SUNY Research Foundation.

He found that motivated high school students with dyslexia increased their writing skills by 7 to 8-grade levels in one academic year. His approach is called The Writing Method.

Russell presented at The Everyone Reading Conference in Manhattan in 2006 and from 2014 to 2019.  He also presented in November 2018 at a conference by The Learning Disability Association of NJ.

Notable Quote:
"Anytime you can share that with the computer, kids love being with a computer, playing on it, and having it interact with them. As you've heard at the beginning, the voice on the reading, even though it's a computer-based voice, sounds even better than Siri or Alexa. So kids really like to read with that computer." - Marty Schultz.

Welcome to today’s interview on the Emotional Kids Summit. 

In this interview, April discusses her journey of learning American Sign Language (ASL) and the importance of communication for her and her daughters. She shares her experience attending a publishing conference where she met Cheri in 2018 and how they connected through their shared interest in education and their perspectives on push-in therapy models. April also talks about her involvement in setting up a charter school with an emphasis on autism, where they had a unique approach of having occupational therapists push into classrooms and work directly with students and teachers. She highlights the benefits of this model for students' self-regulation and handwriting skills.

The interview takes a turn as Cheri mentions their upcoming book collaboration, Math DYSconnected with Jonily Zupancic, where April serves as a ghostwriter. April expresses her excitement about the project and how it has been a fulfilling experience for her. She then transitions to discussing her first book, a memoir detailing her experience of domestic abuse in her previous marriage. April emphasizes the importance of sharing personal stories to create connections and understanding. She talks about the challenges and complexities of domestic violence, including the mix of mental health issues, substance abuse, and the lack of logic in abusive behaviors.

April also shares insights on how teachers can recognize signs of potential abuse in their students, such as observing their interactions, emotional behavior, and imaginary play. She emphasizes the need for building relationships, asking questions, and being a supportive listener. April explains the concept of survivorship and the role of supporters in helping individuals escape abusive situations. She highlights the importance of empathy, non-judgment, and providing a positive and supportive environment.

The interview concludes with a discussion about April's resources and toolkit for supporters, focusing on effective communication and relationship-building. April encourages teachers and therapists to connect with students and parents, showing empathy and understanding. She provides advice on navigating the reporting process, building trust, and being a source of hope and light for those who have experienced abuse. April emphasizes the significance of emotional and social regulation and the need to listen and respond to students' behaviors and needs.
