Nothing shines a light on the challenges a child experiences like a mother's voice. It brings clarity, urgency, and direction, forcing even the most reluctant to action. Narratives from Mothers of Children with Dyslexia: Our Stories for Educators brings to life, in ways that only mothers can, the challenges and triumphs of these children and parents. -Steve Graham, Warner Professor of Special Education, Arizona State University Every parent experiences the highs and lows of parenting, but for some reason, when some are going through difficult parenting times, they feel they are all alone in their plight. This book gives families of children with dyslexia a glimpse into the lives of others, providing them with insight and reminding them that they are not alone, that there are many strategies to be exchanged and shared, and that trials will turn into triumphs. Celebrate ALL things! -Michelle Frazier Trotman Scott, Director of Graduate Studies, University of West Georgia College of Education The stories of the mothers featured in this book mirror my own personal journey of advocating for my daughter Latecia, who is dyslexic. It has not been an easy journey but a necessary one. From seeking help from the school and teachers I thought were the experts, to realizing that they didn't have the answers and that I was in fact my child's best advocate, a Dyslexia Warrior Mom was born. This book reveals the `engine' driving the movement for dyslexia advocacy, awareness, teacher training, appropriate remediation, early intervention, and legislation. It recognizes and explains in an easy-to-read format the realities mothers of dyslexic children face. This book is a must-read for anyone involved in the work of dyslexia. -Clarice L. Jackson, Founder and State Leader, Decoding Dyslexia Nebraska; President/CEO, Voice Advocacy Center; Dyslexia Warrior Mom
