Our oldest daughter is dyslexic/severe ADD. It is a shame that dyslexic people are handicapped the way they are because they see things differently. It's not wrong... it is just not the way most people do so they don't fit into the box the education system is built on. It is difficult for a kid with normal intelligence to deal with because it makes them feel stupid. A kid that really is mentally challenged/low IQ doesn't realize it.<br /><br />Getting help is long, frustrating and a lot of trial and error. Each kid is so different... hang in there. You are doing what you can!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-91814495265580687982010-02-18T04:24:00.653+13:002010-02-18T04:24:00.653+13:00I am so happy that the school is finally trying to...I am so happy that the school is finally trying to do something to help Griffin.
