Taking the time to sit down with your child and talk through their diagnosis can make all the difference in helping her (and you!) understand how her brain works, and what it means for her future.

Facing daily challenges of Dyslexia and ADHD, Sydney Taylor-Klaus speaks out in this video (and in her Manifesto from a Teen With Learning Disabilities), kid to kid, empowering her peers to help themselves manage learning challenges with 4 things you need to know to live with learning differences: 1) own and accept it; 2) don't be ashamed by it; 3) overcome it; 4) know you're not alone!

Syd asks only that you share this with your kids so they'll realize that they're not alone and that they can get a handle on learning ot manage themselves!
