"Wow. What a wonderful article--a great learning tool for school specialty teams. I am sending it to many of my acquaintances in this field. Thank you" Roger in Wichita CST "I wanted to express my gratitude for your courage in writing about your personal growth and experiences in raising a son with learning disabilities. As I read about your journey, I thought of my own as a person with dyslexia and ADD. Anyways, I just wanted to say "thanks" for your thoughtful writing and to reinforce your perspective that your son has a bright future in academics or whatever he chooses. The battle to secure reasonable accommodations can be exhausting but is clearly essential to the success of students with disabilities. Best," Melissa B. "Thank you for writing such a beautiful, inspiring essay about your son and how you came to understand how best to help him. There are a lot of Louies out there -- wonderful human beings with gifts to share with all of us if we will just listen and learn. You found a treasure in John Ribble, and it was wonderful to hear your praise of him. I think there are a lot of Mr. Ribbles out there, too. Thanks for opening readers' eyes to the possibilities that exist for our young people when great parents and great teachers work together. Your essay was a sheer delight. Best wishes to you and Louie."
