I am the mother of two sons with dyslexia. I know how hard it can be for bright and talented kids to earn their high school diploma when held back by learning disabilities. It is difficult for people to find their way through to success when they are up against so many obstacles. Peer pressure, anxiety, and negative labels: stupid, slow, lazy, just to name a few .
Now I am employed at Liberty High School as a Registrar. I get many opportunities to chat with people who have dyslexia, ADD, Autism to name a few . I really relate to these folks and they are often surprised that they are understood and empathized with.
When they entrust themselves or their children to our school we give them the help and care they deserve. Learning at home without any pressure of time and scrutiny often gives them the confidence to succeed with us. Many of these students go on to trade school or can elevate in their current job. We do have students who go on to higher education as well. Especially when they finished all four years of high school and then just couldn’t pass the states’ testing requirements at the end of the year.
It’s very fulfilling to our staff to help peoples with dyslexia and any number of learning disables students succeed. It is our main goal everyday.
