Sharing dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia resources along with some harsh truths about the systemic inequities plaguing neurodiverse populations.
The number of Charter Schools Program applications have doubled since the Biden Administration!

We are thrilled to see so much interest in creating innovative schools that will allow families to find a schooling model that best fits their child's unique needs.

I wish such a sense memory could spark joy in the advocates & dyslexics reading this. Instead, they know this reality: In 2007, "balanced" literacy was in full force in most American schools (despite NRP reporting), so...many kids weren't really reading at all. #lucycalkins #dyslexia #illiteracy

This stunt is a disservice to voters.

A significant number WILL struggle to navigate this ridiculous ballot.
Would like to see total spoiled ballots post-election.

Imagine being a voter with:
low vision?
Dyslexia?
English language learner?
Developmental delay?
Brain injury?
Parkinson’s?

For decades, ADHD, Autism Dyspraxia and Dyslexia were drastically underdiagnosed, especially in women and minorities. What we’re witnessing today isn’t overdiagnosis—it’s a long-overdue correction and an increase in visibility.

Reminder that Linda McMahon is very credibly accused of sex trafficking minors & covering up child rapes for >20 years. The reason she hasn’t faced legal consequences for it is not for lack of evidence, but because she was able to delay accountability until she was outside the statute of limitations
As I first reported Tuesday, the Dept of Education had a reporter from The Federalist exclusively cover McMahon’s meeting with detransitioners yesterday.

Per the despicable report, autism was blamed for rise in transitioning youth, and gender-affirming care was called “medical kidnapping.”

The woman who is currently destroying the department of education is named in a child sex abuse lawsuit.

Linda McMahon knows how to fail children.

Please share if you feel that everyone deserves to have full access to the written word if they want full access to the written word.

Some progress in reading thus far...we have so much work to do if we want to help kids write for freedom and joy.

Maybe! But there are many, many who cannot read and write. We must support all who wish to learn. #SkyWriting

A gentle reminder that neurodivergence isn't just autism and ADHD.

It includes dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, PTSD, OCD, Tourette's, and much else besides.

Including left-handedness.

A good resource is @itsemilykaty.bsky.social's website.

There R some reasons why some might choose to wait/delay providing kids w/the intensive reading support they need & deserve. Virtually most of those reasons are financial in nature & virtually zero of those reasons are about doing what science has shown is effective for most kids. #SOR #PutKidsFirst
