I had a lovely talk with a new friend of mine, Hollis. Last Feburary her daughter was diagnoased with 22 learning disabilities. We talked about the pitfalls of testing, getting services, IEPs, curriculum and teaching styles, providing our kids with positive internal dialogue, and Hollis offers safe advice for challenging times. Of course, I weave in some stories of my own into our talk. If anything feels heavy for you at the moment, try to take a deep breath and for the next 30 minutes or so, take Hollis’s advice and let that sh*t go.
