What helps kids with dyslexia write better? I have a family who has a daughter with dyslexia. Her only service is Wilson 3x40. She struggles with written expression as well. I always have a hard time with helping kids with writing.

What color helps calm the visual effects of writing? Does she use overlays? Try writing in different colors using color pencils, pens, or thin markers. You can also try printing work on colored paper and use a highlighter to help with reading or finding information. In text books you can use highlighter tape instead of highlighter markers. I work with a high school student that uses purple that has helped with handwriting and reading. My son uses blue and improved reading as well as writing. Hope this helps. Here is a website that might help you find more information.

I deeply miss my ex. The breakup was initiated by me 5 years ago because I was scared to commit. Since then, I’ve gotten married and have a daughter. I’m so embarrassed to admit it but I think about my ex everyday. I am so sad that I walked away from him. Life is ok now - I’m thankful for my family but my heart hurts. How do I move on?

Any consulting moms in the area? Desperately in need of in town friends.

For folks who are grew up in the west, is there anything you plan on doing differently with your kids?

When, or if you set time aside to take care of yourself or do something for yourself, what do you do? I'm realizing I don't really have any "healthy" ways of relaxing outside of work, so drop whatever you got. It's starting to affect my personal life and I'm worried I won't be able to have healthy relationships unless I can take care of myself first.

What do like the most about working with dyslexia students?

I'm new to this post and thank those that are willing to share. My son and husband are dyslexic but it took many years of private tutoring and then Dr. Bruno's "OG" assessment and program that allowed our son to move forward. I am now a supportive teacher working with HS students that have struggled throughout their education with a reading deficit and a district unwilling to really provide intensive interventions that addressed dyslexia. I just completed my EdD and am focusing on dyslexia!
