Hey all!

Hope you are having a wonderful week after testing! Things are heating up and moving so quickly it's hard to keep my head above water these days. If I haven't seen you in a while, please forgive me. If you need me, please call or email me. 

Big things in the Special Education World. Arkansas SB 33 To Ensure That Children With Dyslexia Have Their Needs Met By The Public School System was delivered to the governor 04/12/13 and is now Act 1294. I encourage you to read the text of the law and to be sure we are ready for what is coming. I feel like we have an amazing head start on this next chapter of Arkansas Education, but I want you to all feel prepared.

There have been/will be a lot of changes in this legislative session. I hope this one has a very positive impact on our students. It's really kind of exciting! If you would like additional training on dyslexia interventions/treatments, please let me know and we will work together to find you some. I have heard The Apple Group is offering additional training this summer to help meet some of this growing need.

Here is contact and training info. If you are interested, call Cherry or Mary Margaret and get more details and then let me know. :)
