Beautiful People,

During the six months since my book, The Opposite of Comfortable, was published people were asking me about my approach to my son’s Dyslexia. They were interested to know more about the evaluation process of a learning disability, the support available at schools or through specialty reading programs, assistive technology, and other important technical issues.

When a child is diagnosed with a learning disability, initially the focus is on what works for the child and implementing it. Only at a later stage many parents realize that supporting the child’s social and emotional needs is not less pertinent.

A child with a learning disability should develop a strong sense of self-worth, confidence, and the determination to keep going even when things are tough, and parents can help.

In my latest article to The Huffington Post, I shared my way of supporting my son’s social and emotional needs.

If you have questions about the article or in general- feel free to comment or to send me a personal message.

XO,
Sharon
