My Best Tip for Living with Disabilities
Don't be embarrassed to ask for help. My personal turning point in learning success was when I realized that asking questions and getting help was actually a strength and not a sign of weakness.
My Best Tip for Making a Difference
Try to get to know other people and understand their experience instead of offering prepared solutions.
Why I Care About Disabilities - My Story
I am a school counselor and work for Nitzan Israel, Israel's Association for Children and Adults with LD. I wonder why some people seem to have all the answers, while there are others who seem to believe there are no answers. I find myself in the middle, learning and trying to help others.
About My Blog
My blog is a reflection of the Nitzan Israel website. As an organization, we're interested in learning and collaborating with others who are involved in the fields of learning disabilities and ADHD. The blog is a way for English-speakers to keep up with what we're doing and leave their thoughts and comments.
What's Great About My Blog
My blog has exclusive photos from our events in Israel and provides translations of articles that were published in Hebrew in the Israeli press. We have great programs for adults and children with learning disabilities, parents, and professionals. Our site has great information for everybody.
