The chiseling away at the self begins very early…and can end very badly if not recognized, diagnosed, reflected on and directly supported. https://t.co/a6Grk1jrZh
@DysgraphiaSucks Couldn’t agree more! Sometimes individuals I see were either never diagnosed or if they were, believe it was not relevant in Adulthood. They struggled in multiple areas but don’t equate it to what they felt with in school. There is support in technology, strategies & processes.
@DysgraphiaSucks I’m so sorry to read this. In hindsight is there anything that we in the profession (adult adhd and LD ) can learn from this tragedy? It is heartbreaking and doesn’t have to happen. If even one person can be saved it would be worth gaining knowledge from. Again…so very sorry.
Because the human brain doesn’t come already wired to read, there is no “reading center” of the brain and there are no “reading genes.” Each individual brain must learn how to read on its own. https://t.co/WwKstAhTcV
