Be aware: Masking is very common.

Sometimes the kids who seem to be doing just fine are working the hardest to hold it all together. ❤️

Children with dyslexia and ADHD can become very good at masking their struggles.

They may smile, say they understand, avoid asking questions, or work twice as hard to keep up with their peers.

But masking can be exhausting.

Just because a child appears to be doing well doesn’t mean they aren’t struggling beneath the surface.

Look beyond the smile. Pay attention to the effort. Create a safe space where children don’t have to pretend everything is okay. ❤️

Have you seen masking in students with dyslexia or ADHD?

A huge Thank You to Stacey Levy and Jen Roberts for presenting last night “Connecting the Dots: DLD, Dyslexia, & the Power of Structured Literacy.” And thank you also to Chris Holcomb and his student Taylor who recorded this presentation along with the IDA-GA update given by Board President Kim Day and Teen Board Captain Leighton, and award presentation by VP Amelia Morel and remarks by Outstanding Service Award recipient Missy Purcell. (Leadership in Literacy Award winner Robin Hilfer was unable to attend but will be honored on March 13 at the IDA-GA Conference In Milledgeville.) And thank you to all our attendees for coming out on a Tuesday evening. I think we all agreed meeting in person is the best! And thank you to The Epstein School for allowing us to host the event at the school. And to those at the school who worked with us on pre-event coordination and provided support during the event. And to Teen Board Ambassador Kyler Smith for lending a hand to Ann Marie Lewis with unloading and set up! 👏🏻
So thankful for the MANY HANDS that made this wonderful event possible!

Thank you to everyone who joined us last night! We loved the opportunity to present, connect with the community, and answer your thoughtful questions. We’re so grateful for everyone’s interest and participation and had such a wonderful time!
