Diagnosing Dyslexia

2022/11/01

Now WITH sound! see video version: https://www.yourparenthelp.com/podcast_0239 “Specific Learning Disability” versus “Dyslexia” I’ve heard so many parents question the school’s report of a “Specific Learning Disability” and ask how they can get their child diagnosed with dyslexia. In some states, a school can actually give a diagnosis, but this is outside of the scope of schools in many states. A diagnosis is a medical function, while determining eligibility for an IEP or 504 is a school

Effective Dyslexia Interventions

2022/10/17

Video version available at: www.YourParentHelp.com/podcast_0240 Effective Dyslexia Interventions The “Gold Standard” in dyslexia interventions is Orton-Gillingham, often called “OG”. There are many programs that are Orton-Gillingham-based. The effectiveness of each OG-based program is highly dependent on the knowledge base of the person implementing the program. If they are not actually trained in the program and/or dyslexia in general, the program will be far less effective. There are a

Happy October, also known as both Dyslexia Awareness Month and ADHD Awareness Month.

Motivational Problem Solving

2022/09/19

Kids who struggle with ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and other learning disabilities are motivated by the same things all kids are motivated by: solving complex problems in a meaningful way! In a continuing effort to find ways to motivate our child’s academic/educational progress, this month’s Motivational Monday is on Problem-Solving. While doing a worksheet full of “word problems” can be boring and unmotivating, solving genuine problems can be very motivating! Consider some of

As a kid, I remember being scared to go down this set of 3 tall, dark tunnel slides at the local water park (Raging Waters) called The Bermuda Triangle. But I kept watching all of these other kids going down it and laughing and smiling and enjoying it! Eventually, I climbed the stairs, took a breath and went for it. And I was so glad that I had found that courage. That motivation. I’m sure you’ve had similar experiences, but have you ever taken the time to consider how this might apply to

The Real Pace of Learning

Decoding Learning Differences with Kimberlynn Lavelle ·

2022/08/10

Children are expected to learn at a steady pace, starting fourth grade at a 4.0, and ending at a 4.9 or 5.0, with steady consistent growth of .1 each month along the way. I have never met that child. Every child I have ever worked with has had periods of explosive growth and periods of stagnation and even regression. We expect that steady straight line, but the spikes and dips and plateaus is closer to the reality that I see. I also want to point out that some kids will not start or end at

Kids with autism, dyslexia, ADHD, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and other learning disabilities (including auditory, visual, attention, and cognitive processing disorders) benefit greatly from being carefully educated by those who know them best and spend the most time with them!

The author of fourteen books and hundreds of articles, he lectures at education conferences and universities as well as to parent groups and corporations.

One of my favorite mathematical tools is in your wallet, or maybe in your junk drawer, or one of those 5 gallon water jugs. Coins! Coins can be used to teach so many math concepts! And yet, money is barely mentioned in the common core standards. I understand that coins aren’t necessarily critical, but I do think it’s important as a life skill AND it’s a great mathematical tool for tons of other concepts! First, we need to work on teaching our kids to identify coins- their names and

Vocabulary and Learning Disabilities

2022/06/20

When we understand why our children are struggling with reading comprehension, we can be far more effective in helping them to overcome their struggles. Vocabulary as a skill is essentially about understanding the meaning of the words being read. A strong vocabulary allows children to understand the meanings of higher level texts. Some learning disabilities will hinder a child’s vocabulary development or retention, causing them to struggle to understand what they are reading. When we help

Motivation fascinates me and is something I’m constantly researching, contemplating, and re-educating myself about. The funny thing is, what I’ve always known to be true, is what clearly is. And yet, it’s not what society teaches us. We’re taught to use “the carrot and the stick” when finding intrinsic motivation is far superior to any extrinsic motivator.

My kids are only 2 and 4 years old, but what am I doing to guide their education right now? First of all, books! We read a lot of books! Those books drive discussions and some other discussions drive us to refer to books. We read a lot of books and we have a lot of discussions and those two things are a huge part of their education. We go to the park almost daily, meeting kids and playing with old and new friends constantly. I set up play dates with more and more people. I decide where
