As you research and report on dyslexia and ADHD, please be aware that the prevailing tendency in medical and educational communities is to view cognitive differences as “disabilities.” In communicating your findings to the general public, you, as a part of the media, have great influence on how the public perceives students who struggle in traditional educational environments.

My goal through my work as a writer, public speaker and consultant, is to create a more inclusive collective dialogue regarding all cognitive differences. I greatly appreciate your continued efforts to treat your words and framing with care when you share stories like mine. You have the opportunity to give the individuals who appear in your work and those who read it something their schools systems may not—hope.

Please take advantage of the resources above to stimulate curiosity and conversation during your interviews and research—and allow you to impart upon your readers a new way of seeing…short bus riders.
