Some blogs have been very difficult.   This one I did not want to do...Having a learning disability hasn't bothered me except 1) when I felt it was swept under the carpet by my family 2) I couldn't figure out how to make things work (to be successful) and 3) I find myself, in trying to rise above it, not wanting to identify myself with some of the characteristics.  No one ever talked about how it hit me socially.  I guess I didn't want to think about it.

It is good for them to think about, so that they can relate to the kids.  Especially since this is such a large part of the population (that we will be teaching-at least in SPED or resource rooms).

With my HWD.  I am still very excited and this is a topic which seems to have no bottom.  (Not the cases, I'm still looking for a good case study.  Working on that).  I know this may be ambitious, but sometimes it takes someone with time to look at things differently to come up with a new perspective that we haven't thought of before.  I don't know that it will be all that, but it seems what we are doing to 504 is either going to merge, collapse or implode.  We have the right principles, it is having people follow them (without being forced or coerced).  I believe in what Joseph Smith taught:  "Teach the people correct principles, and they will govern themselves" (quoted by John Taylor, Millennial Star, 15 Nov. 1851, p. 339 from LDS.org, https://www.lds.org/ensign/1986/06/teaching-children-to-govern-themselves?lang=eng).
