It is all how you look at it

Is it a

Learning dissability

OR

Learning a different way?

This is what I am facing with my sweet Jackson.

I think he just learns a different way.

Now to find out what that way is.

Anonymous said...: From myexperience be prepared to fight. I had a psychatrist diagnose my son with ADHD I did NOT agree but because of the diagnoses my dr and other professionals were not prepared to do anything to help aside from urge me to medicate. I think there is a time and place for medication,I also think there are several steps to take before you choose to give your childs growing brain a drug which has the potential to alter it for life. After two years of fighting and a change of schools I have finally recieved the help my son deserves. Just a suggestion if it should come down to it INSIST on a cognitive learning screening and never second guess your knowledge of your child regardless of any lazy diagnoses you may recieve.; February 1, 2010 at 9:01 p.m.
Mrs Sobbi said...: I am with you, a different way of learning. It is good to be aware of a "disability" and see it not as a hinderance or a way to categorize but a way to know where and how your child needs help or what you need to do to help them excell. So many parents fight the diagnosis of their child (many out of pride) not realizing that this does not make your child less, just different and instead of having your child experience failure upon failure in certain areas, this actually gives you the knowledge and tools to know how and where to help your child feel success. jackson is an amazing, intelligent child, he is going to be successful in so many ways throughout his life because of you and Kal's amazing parenting and support. You are going to help it happen by giving him the confidence, love and tools he needs to go where he wants to go. I agree with Autumn and Kelly. Good advice ladies:) I love you gal!!; February 4, 2010 at 5:15 p.m.
