About me

I have a passion for education and especially for ensuring that all of us continue to apply what we have learned. I am excited about the opportunity that the Lounge provides for all of us to discuss how we are applying what we have learned & to share those great ideas.

I have had a varied background from secondary education to corporate training & now working in the career college sector. But while I have moved in different circles it has always been surrounding my passion of education. I look forward to our conversations.

Dawn, at the risk of sounding harsh, it really is up to him. It sounds to me like you've done what you can to show you want to help, but until he is ready to disclose the disability or seek real help, there's nothing else you can do. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
