Working with students as a classroom teacher, reading specialist, diagnostician, and clinician for a private learning center for many years, my passion to improve the education of our nation's students has led me to writing a  book, and now a second edition, to share my findings with parents and educators.  Although I never had a desire to be a writer, I decided that the best way to reach more educators, parents and professionals who work with children, was to write a book.  I feel strongly about the impact that my findings can make on the improvement of education to all children from learning disabled to gifted.
