What I've tried to do . . . is create a whole model that got away from test scores and avoided labels like LD (learning disabled) or ADD (attention-deficit disorder), and use a profile of strengths and weaknesses.
I think we pay a heavy price for misunderstood kids,
We teach the child about his own strengths and weaknesses, and we give words they need for the things they need to work on,
many of the individuals we see are heavily committed to something we call 'fun.'
