The document discusses the stages parents may go through in parenting a child with dyslexia. It outlines four potential stages:
I. Initial worries/doubts and crisis leading to diagnosis.
II. Learning to advocate for the child and find community/support.
III. Advocating for all children with dyslexia and learning more about the topic.
IV. Deeper learning about evidence-based practices and policy to improve the system for all students.
The stages are not necessarily linear and parents may revisit stages depending on their child's needs and challenges with the school system. Understanding these stages can help parents view their journey and find others further along to support them.

However many parents prefer to explore all of their educational options before deciding on just one school.

The following is a short overview on what every parent should look for in an elementary school regardless of how it is governed.

Why do adopted children need a different kind of parenting? With the majority of children adopted from the care system coming from an abusive or neglectful background, it is unsurprising that many struggle to overcome the consequences of this difficult start to life. The Wall illustrates how unmet physical and emotional needs early in life affect children’s later development, requiring different parenting techniques and support for adoptive parents.

Why Tweet? Discover & Leverage Social Media. Cowen (IDA Conference 2014 T11) Carolyn D. Cowen
Grassroots/parent groups are harnessing the power of social media to create change. But academics, researchers, educators, and nonprofits have been slower to leverage social media in their work. Curious to learn why and how to use social media (particularly Twitter) on behalf of those with dyslexia and others? Time precludes nuts-and-bolts detail, but I drop a few bread crumbs—including stories and practical applications from colleagues—hoping to entice you down the path to learn more. HOMEWORK: Read/view material on this page (www.scoop.it/t/ida-conference-social-media-resources-readings). BTW: IDA's Conference hashtag is #DyslexiaCon.
A powerpoint presentation for the 2013 International Dyslexia Association Conference in NOLA—"Twitter Power: Discover & Leverage Twitter to Achieve Your Goals." Social Media can be powerful in the hands of those doing vital work to improve the teaching-learning landscape for those with dyslexia or those who struggle to learn to read. This introductory session focuses on the WHY of Twitter and its power for creating change.

Leverage Social Media 2 Drive Change: Twitter Power 4 Literacy Educators & ...Carolyn D. Cowen
Full Disclosure: About a year ago, I knew almost zilch about social media. In fact, I am tech-phobic. Really. Ask anyone who knows me. Only the largess of my tech-savvy family and occasional panicky interactions with tech support enable me to stumble along in the digital era with a modicum of competence. Recently, however, I embarked on a quest to explore social media. What I learned persuaded me that anyone seeking to improve the teaching-learning landscape must initiate his or her own quest to understand and leverage the power of social media. I this chapter, I hope to inspire you to do exactly that.
Ed Reform Through Lens of SPED: Friends of Boca Ed PanelCarolyn D. Cowen
SUMMARY: This presentation reviews the role of special education as a catalyst in education reform and discusses the unintended consequences of even well designed reform. For example, the campaign to correct over enrollment of children with reading problems in special education—a top-down campaign emphasizing evidence-based reading in general education and a cornerstone of NCLB—has contributed to a grassroots backlash against testing and “narrowing of the curriculum.” A difficulty appreciating education’s dynamic complexities helps explain a history of swinging between extremes and why even great solutions often create new problems. Appreciating these dynamic complexities and working from both the bottom up and from the top down are essential to making and sustaining improvements in education. Each year, three million youngsters enter the U.S. education system with high hopes. It is our job to ensure those hopes are fulfilled.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
