Accident set me back

Dear Reader....this is my first blog since July 21, '05 when I started you on a journey to share my 30 years of experience as a dyslexia specialist and diagnostician. A misstep ended in a depressed tibia plateau, surgery, seven weeks in a wheel chair, months of therapy, and finally back to the office. Happy, healthy 2006. Experience has taught me to hold on the rail when walking down steps.

You met Jay the 8 and a half year old lad with dyslexia. I printed the Observations and Evaluation Procedure of his diagnostic evaluation. You read my observations about his strengths and his weaknesses. I addressed the research definition of dyslexia and reading fluency. The blog ended after the listed procedures, tests, and scores.

Next week I will resume with "Let's review Jay's performance"--where I left off. May we be blessed with good health and a wealth of learning.
