I have a Bachelors degree in Psychology. I have a great job as a Social Services Associate in a hospital. However, I do more case management then I do social service things. I’d like to go back to school to do substance abuse counseling. I think that would suit me better.

Dyslexia! After having our kindergartener son tested (privately) related to ADHD, we were told he may have dyslexia too (which would explain why he struggles so much with phonics but is amazing at sight words). He has a very high IQ. As a voracious reader, I am finding myself unexpectedly distraught that something that I have loved so much will be such a struggle for him, and worrying that it will affect his motivation and may steer him away from things he may otherwise love.
