or mental challenges of some sort. I did some digging and I made this huge list of films that can help create a wider understanding about people with these issues. My husband had tourettes and he’d probably he a school teacher if he were alive right now so “Front of the Class” hits home for us.

Thomas Edison have a Learning Disability

Thomas Edison was labeled as a ‘hyperactive stupid’ by his teacher in Michigan as he asked too many questions and was a slow-learner. He was terrible at mathematics, unable to focus, and had difficulty with words and speech. But by the age of 10 he had turned his basement into a chemical laboratory. He also used to sell newspapers, cigars, cigarettes, candies, on trains running from Port Huron to Detroit and then with the money bought a printing press and started his own newspaper - The Weekly Herald. By working hard in his life he overcame his learning and physical disabilities. He has been quoted as saying: “Genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.” Learn about dealing with LDs. Attend a workshop by Tony Buzan Read more

World Down’s Syndrome Day - 21st March 2013

Down’s Syndrome is a condition caused by an extra chromosome in a baby’s cells. They have 3 of chromosome 21 (hence the date…). People with Down’s Syndrome have a degree of learning difficulty, but their potential to develop and learn is as great as yours or mine. They can go to school, learn new skills and learn to live as independently as possible.

World Down’s Syndrome Day is about awareness and education. There is so much you can do to be a part of the voice of acceptance and understanding, which grows louder each year. I encourage you to first, learn about Down’s Syndrome, what it means to have it, and how the people with it play their part in your community.

So! First: Check out the following sites for more information about Down’s Syndrome and WDSD:

http://www.worlddownsyndromeday.org/

http://www.downs-syndrome.org.uk/

http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/physical_health/conditions/downssyndrome1.shtml

And second: Ask me things!

I have a sister with Down’s Syndrome, and love nothing more than people asking me questions about her condition, her life, and everything related. There are no stupid questions, I’ve bet I’ve been asked it before anyway, but if you want to go anon or have me answer you privately that’s fine :)

So, let’s get some notes! Spread the awareness and share the love.

You probably haven’t heard of it, though (Wow how hipster did THAT sound though, really).

I would absolutely love math if it weren’t for this pesky little roadblock.

Dyscalculia is a learning disorder specific to mathematics. It tends to be overlooked, or waved off as not real altogether....
