I. Introduction
A couple months ago, I was helping my 7 year old brother with his homework and I realized that he was writing some letter and numbers backwards. For example the number 3 and number 2. I started getting mad at him and said “Don’t you know your

    Summary Of The Dyslexia Advantage

    “We've been thinking about dyslexia all wrong” is what Dr.’s Brock and Fernette Eide expressed in their revolution book, The Dyslexia Advantage. They are two learning disability experts who argued and highlighted that we should not focus on dyslexia’s weakness in learning. Instead, we should focus on what makes them distinctive, capable and unique. The authors presented case studies and stories that highlighted the remarkable talent and ability of individuals with dyslexia.…

    Living With Dyslexia By Jimmy Santiago Baca

    I know many people who encountered the struggle of dyslexia, but I can truly see that impact on my younger sibling Christopher, and my dear best friend Diana. Diana has been my best friend since fifth grade, and we have been in the same classes ever since until college. She calls me every now and then to tell me how much she is struggling at SAC State, how difficult it is for her to keep up with her grades. She was diagnosed with dyslexia in middle school, and I remember how cruel kids were with her. No one wanted to use her in group projects, or presentations, or in anything, because to them she was dumb. Very similar to Cook, when everyone expected him to fail fast during spelling bees. Besides all the bullying, all she did was smile and at least I thought ignored what they said. When we were in high school, she confessed how awful it was to be so ‘slow’ at everything. It took her three times to pass the English CAHSEE, but she persevered and she did accomplish it. Diana was very patient with herself through it all, and still is. I called her recently to let her know I was using her for this essay, and her response is very similar to Cook’s, “Having dyslexia is not easy, very hard actually, but you must find different alternative strategies to deal with it in a positive way.” In comparison to Diana, Christopher struggles with it…

    Students with speech and language disorders have difficulty pronouncing, speaking and expressing themselves orally with fluidity and ease. In order to accommodate the needs of my students with speech and language disorders, I would provide them with hard copies of all notes and a disk that will read lessons to my students as they listen along while reading at home. In class, I will repeat and rephrase instruction and I will pair my students that are in need of accommodations with high performing students that may assist and help guide them.…

    Creating and implementing effective lessons for a literacy learner who is struggling with reading and writing takes much effort and appropriate resources. Throughout the Literacy Development course, I have gained much insight and resources that have become valuable tools in addressing students’ literacy needs. Each week, I conducted lessons and activities that targeted the needs of many students, but my initial focus on was on one particular student. His individual reading level, spelling development, and writing abilities were analyzed and the recorded data was used to drive instruction. The student chosen for the literacy learner study was a second grade student who is a struggling reader and is served in Response to Intervention Tier 3 (Mesmer & Mesmer, 2008).…

    Informative Speech

    Attention- getter: What would you do if somebody came into this classroom and pointed a gun at you as if they were going to kill you for no reason? First thing that would come to mind is, “Am I really going to die right now” and “Why is a person on campus with a gun trying to kill people?” Sad part is, an event like this has happened many times in the past. For instance, the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting as well as the Colorado movie theatre shooting that all took place within the past year[example]. These mass shootings have brought up the issue of controlling who is able to purchase guns and if it is safe and necessary to roam around in public armed with a weapon.…

    ADHD Personal Statement

    Reading stories my mother was my favorite activity, and I couldn’t wait to learn to read to her – she became the first academic influence in my life. When I began Kindergarten, we found out that I would face some serious challenges. The staff at my first elementary school discovered my dyslexia and “hyperactivity disorder” (the prior clinical title for today’s ADHD) in the first week of initial assessments. Before I started school, my mother made sure I knew my alphabet, my numbers to 100, and my colors. I knew how to write my full name and read short words, so when the school responded to my learning disability by tracking me in the remedial reading group, I was devastated. My mother went to the school to find out what our options were. Deeply concerned about the school’s practice of pulling me from classes like math and social studies, she asked what home activities might help. From then on, my IEP was waived and my mother became my intervention director. At home, I brought in the groceries, did needlepoint, and completed connect-the-dot puzzles to improve my hand/eye coordination. At each new school, we faced the same struggle. Indomitable, my mother advocated for me every time. She never failed to ensure I was in the right place, and as a result, I never let my learning disabilities stand in the way of my…

    Volunteer Hours Reflection

    During my undergraduate studies in the field of Communication Science and Disorders, I volunteered regularly at local events and elementary schools. I have spent over two hundred hours working in conjunction with teachers, speech-language pathologists, and occupational therapists to assist in educating adults and children who experienced difficulties in the areas of speech, language, reading, writing, and math. These volunteer hours exposed me to diverse populations, various ailments, and differential diagnosis in south and central Florida. Most of my hours were geared towards working with children and adolescents who have been diagnosed with non-verbal and/or autistic disorders.…
