Although this is a tad non-yogic related...I wanted to share this invitation with you if this is of interest.
As most of you know, I have spent years as a reading specialist while also holding degrees/certifications in elementary education & special education. Additionally, I have a child who was diagnosed at the age of 3 - almost 4 years old, with a developmental delay - initially assessed with a "dull-normal range" of IQ - a learning disability (perceptually impaired), language processing disorder and attention deficit hyper activity disorder. Wow, that's a lot to pack into one little guy. With early intervention & daily intervention on my part, by the time he was 5 1/2, his IQ was tested at borderline gifted...however, that didn't make everything go away nor for his school experience to be "normal" for many years.
Today, at 18, life is a different story. He & I chose to create a different story - we were warriors instead of victims. Much of this credit, I give to my son, Giuliano, who is always a guru to me...a never ending source of enlightenment in so many ways and truly the inspiration behind this project. Had I not questioned, inquired and searched and had he not accepted, struggled and taught me - neither of us would be where we are.
That being said, I am currently working on an exciting project which is in its infancy...The Suburban Literacy Project. Without going into all the details here, I will be accepting approximately 3 more private students for:
orthography assessment
literacy assessments
one-on-one individual instruction
word study
communication as requested for home and/or school including written reports
**eventually small group reading & writing workshops
If you, or someone you know, is in need of private assessments and one-on-one instruction for a child OR ADULT, please contact me via email mfiadino@gmail.com or phone (H) 610-827-0055 (C) 610-620-3639.
Do not hesitate to email or call should you have further questions...remember, your child is as unique as their handprint.
Choose to create a new story for you & your child's future!
many blessings, maryanne
HEAVEN'S SPECIAL CHILD
A meeting was held quite far from earth, It's time again for another birth. Said the angels to the Lord above;
This special child will need much love His progress may be very slow, Accomplishments he may not show. And he'll require extra care, From the folks he meets down there,
He may not run or laugh or play, His thoughts may seem quite far away. In many ways he won't adapt, and he'll Be known as handicapped.
So let's be careful where he is sent, we want His life to be content.
Please, Lord, find the good friends who, will Do a special job for you.
They will not realize it right away, the leading Role they're asked to play. But with this child sent from above, comes Stronger faith and richer love. And soon they will know the privileges given, In caring for their gift from Heaven. Their precious charge, so meek and mild, in
