October is quickly approaching and as we look forward to the cooler weather and fall festivities, we also take time each year to

bring awareness to and acknowledge what is truly a learning difference that primarily affects, reading, spelling, and accurately connecting letters with their sounds.

​It is related to how the brain processes language and is not a reflection of intelligence. 

​

 Many people with dyslexia are strong creative thinkers, problem solvers, visual thinkers, and hands-on learners.

With appropriate instruction and support, people with dyslexia can become successful readers and learners.

I deeply appreciate those who work with children who learn differently~

​Last fall, Whole Child Happenings hosted a community event at the Spanish Fort Community Center featuring dyslexia awareness resources, hands-on building and crafts, dyslexia-friendly books, and tools for children to explore. We also provided educational contributions to local schools. 

This year, we are beginning the school year by recognizing a school that goes the extra mile to engage, nurture, and honor how children learn best.  

​Whole Child Happenings of Baldwin County is proud to recognize 

Director Suzanne Avery and the Robertsdale School of Dyslexic Learners 

​with our New School Year STEM Contribution.​
