It sounds as though you have been able to harness not only your experience, but your energies, and I am sure your students benefit from both. I hope you share that experience with your colleagues, Linda. You are right -- students with LD/ADHD are not masters at vicarious learning (grin!). They can learn effective management strategies, but it is likely that they will learn it best through direct instruction. Keep up the good work! Dr. Jane Jarrow
