Personal Profile and Interests

I am the parent of 2 dyslexic children, one now 24 and the other now 12. The elder (my son) has ADHD, was not diagnosed until 4th grade, suffered greatly at the hands of our public schools, and had an extremely turbulent adolescence as a result of experiencing years of failure and humiliation. We managed to help him get a high-school equivalency, and he has done quite well at community colleges, recently completing an Associates Degree in nursing.

Our 12-year old daughter has ADD inattentive type, but because of our experience with our son recognized her difficulty at age 5 when she was unable to learn the alphabet. She also has suffered greatly at the hands of our public schools.

Her test scores reflect the classic profile of a dyslexic (as opposed to a garden variety poor reader). However, she does not exhibit the difficulties with phonemic / phonological awareness
