Report Inappropriate Comments

I am thankful that Rep. Serpa has committed to helping close the Gap and hopefully stop the child abuse that has been happening as children like my son daily attend school with inappropriate educational tools to flounder around and fail year after year. I call this Educational Malpractice. I went to that 2012 Dyslexia Hearing and initial Resolution for the Study Commission which Rep, Eileen Naughton championed. I felt like I had a nouse around my neck and wasn't getting through to my child's educators. I then started talking and connecting with other parents. I found there were many like me and my son's situation was not so unique after all. The fragmented disjointed world of dyslexia in the public schools is a word that isn't even whispered by anyone. About a year ago I discovered a grassroots parents movement called Decoding Dyslexia, and we became the 34th state to join. I founded the RI branch and worked for a year waiting for 'them to come'. They did and we now have a President and full Board, Advisory Board and members. So, after 2.5 after this Study Commission was initially formed, the panel finally met this Tuesday. I am so elated and proud to have 2 of our DDRI members on the panel. Joanna Scocchi and Kari Kurto who are dedicated to raising awareness, and guide others to understand that the Blindfold's must come off in order to ensure those Dyslexic children who wave their White Flags…. will maybe now get the early intervention they need in order to be successful.
