October 3 is Dysgraphia Awareness Day! 💛✏️
Dysgraphia is more than messy handwriting. It can affect letter formation, spacing, spelling, organization, and the ability to get thoughts onto paper.
A student may have wonderful ideas and know exactly what they want to say, but the act of writing can make it difficult to show what they know.
Awareness leads to understanding. Understanding leads to better instruction and support. 💛
Different brains. Different writers. Bright futures.

A portion of schools and staff have felt knowing about learning differences was optional for many years.

Now the Neurodiversity Rights movement is showing society that every child matters.

Every educator can now easily find millions of resources on the Internet to learn more far beyond college and work training.

Cox Campus offers free training. Accredited. Unlimited access. Over 1000 free courses. Paid for by generous donations so no educator needs to tell families they are waiting for work training or funding. FREE.

Doesn’t every child deserve the lifetime benefit of literacy and numeracy so they can get jobs like the teachers when they grow up?

Wonderful changes are now occurring to help all school staff better understand learning differences.

Teachers must be role models for the children by showing they know how to learn more too. All educators must have the skill and will to do their own lifelong learning.

The colleges of education should offer free training to any educator who felt they did not learn enough in teacher prep.

The Reading League and IDA have set up guidelines to improve teacher prep for the next generation.

12. The colleges of education should help future teachers understand they will be required to have a mindset of lifelong learning far beyond paid work training.

It's about having the self-motivation to be willing to put in a sustained effort to learn.

This post begins with the premise that high quality teachers are lifelong learners. This assumption is based on the recognition that teaching is a complex profession with changing and growing demands.

In order to meet the demands, all school staff must have lifelong learning skills. All licensed professionals require continuing education skills.

13. A portion of teachers do not know how to teach literacy and numeracy. A portion of teachers do not know about learning differences…yet.

Kindly join as many professional groups as you can to stay informed.

In a profession built on growth, educators cannot afford to stand still.

Continuous learning strengthens teaching practice and ensures students receive education that is relevant, inclusive, and impactful.

Continuous learning is not an optional add-on for teachers, it is a core professional responsibility.

Licensure standards of accountability should be required.

14. We have never had easier access to ideas and information that promise to help us grow.

Books, podcasts, keynote talks, online courses, YouTubes, education websites and an abundance of FREE information constantly offer new ways of learning.

It’s a wonderful time to learn about neurodiversity right where so much information is now available for free!

They aren’t struggling because they aren’t smart. They’re struggling because their brain learns differently.

Every day, children with dyslexia walk into classrooms full of curiosity, creativity, and incredible potential. Yet many begin to believe they’re “not smart” simply because reading is harder for them than it is for their peers.

Reading difficulties are not a measure of intelligence. They are a sign that a child needs instruction that matches the way their brain learns.

When we replace frustration with understanding and the right support, confidence grows, strengths shine, and potential is unlocked.

Every child deserves the chance to discover what they’re truly capable of. 💙

I know as a parent, family member or a friend you want to do anything that you can to make speaking easier for us.

A lot of the time this means that you end up speaking for us, finishing our sentences for us or asking us another question to fill the awkward silence. Which, although you mean well, doesn’t really do much to help us.

Instead, try waiting and giving us the time we need to succeed! 💙
