While the child with dyslexia or ADD may stammer, stumble, and reverse, while he may disconnect from the word or the page or the person, he may also soar. He may connect in new and unexpected ways. He may, in his stumbling, stumble onto something new and wonderful. It is therefore vital that we keep the windows of these children’s minds clean, that we keep them free of the smudge and grease of shame, criticism, defeatism, and devaluation.
