We all say that we want to be unique and want to be seen for the talents and skills that we have. Don’t be average but be unique and be seen. The same accounts for your child. Right? But what happens when your child is not average in learning, at all? Do we and educators still see the child for who the child is, or will they be compared with the average learning curve? With the consequence of dropping out of regular education systems? I would like to share the journey of my and our child with learning disabilities. How we identified, acknowledged, embraced, turned it into something positive, became creative in finding possibilities, and learned from our child how it is to really be unique.
