This isn't a pervasive myth, at least not on the surface, but it is there. Diagnosing late waiting for the child to fail is not caring if the child can ever learn to read on grade level. Not setting IEP goals that are aggressive yet reachable and focusing all efforts on remediating the child is not caring if the child can ever read on grade level. Not providing remediation in secondary with the same aggressiveness and commitment to catching up is not caring if the child is reading on grade level. Not caring if the child can read on grade level is abiding by the myth that the dyslexic child never can, and that dyslexia is in fact a handicap which means the child will never read on grade level, or well at all. This just isn't true. We must collectively do better!

We always love getting feedback from Edublox parents! 📣

We often hear that our children are strong.

We often hear our children need to develop resilience.

While strength in life is important, we place too high a burden on our children, expecting them to rise to situations that we would not subject ourselves to as adults. Their lack of vocabulary and emotional development, of course depending on what age they are, further complicates the issue. We demand emotional maturity when their amygdala isn’t yet fully developed. We play expectations on them thinking they’re tough and will be ok, but they aren’t.

Demanding strength and praising resilience hides the harm being inflicted, especially in a school environment. We need to stop demanding more than they can give and we need to start listening to what they’re trying so desperately to communicate when they don’t have the skill set to do so and therefore may be communicating through behavior.

Our children need us to be their best possible advocate at all times. No one is perfect at this, but we all should strive for it. Note that within IEP and 504 meetings too if strength and resilience comes up, if behavior comes up, then I begin a very tough conversation on emotions and communication.

You can’t make change without breaking a few rules. Love this perspective

🛑Growing up with a learning difference, I had a knack for breaking the rules. 🛑
Let’s be clear…. I’m not talking about right or wrong rules (that’s another post). I’m talking about rules on how things SHOULD be done. Rules on the “Process” of things. I hated those rules.

My brain was just wired differently. I used to challenge my teachers and adults who would force me to comply to the rules they thought were right, when in reality, some of those very rules didn’t cater toward my Neurodiverse mind. I feel it’s so easy to get stuck in the process which limits our ability to be creative with how we educate or lead someone who learns differently.

Challenging the status quo is a huge risk. It requires doing everything different. It requires thinking… differently. Breaking the rules of process.

If we are going to bring systemic change to education to create a more neurodiverse friendly model, it’s going to require us to put ourselves out there and risk getting ridiculed. Innovation only comes when we challenge the normal and what already exists. Let’s go break some rules!
