Dyslexia is one of my top subjects! Had a son with severe dyslexia as well as being extremely gifted which made identification difficult. I learned through being on the International Dyslexia Association branch board for 14 years as a lay parent by attending workshops, conferences, and got exposed to various teaching strategies how to help such a student. They may come in mild, moderate, and severe levels, along with other co-existing conditions like dysgraphia (poor handwriting), most excel at math, but some have difficulty with word problems because of their problems with reading and comprehension.

I attended college later in life. Recently, the opportunity arose to better myself. I chose Early Childhood Education and then continued on to obtain my Bachelor's Degree. Following this, I returned to school for Nursing. Eventually, we moved to Texas where I applied,tested and obtained my LCCA License.
While in New York State, I was employed through the Alternative Suspension Program as an LVN. While there,I assisted with the teaching of students. This in turn gave me the opportunity to obtain my certification in Teaching. I remained in this position for two years. During this time, I had my own case load of 5-8 students grade 7-12. Following this position, I was employed at a tutor for those youth who were home bound.
