Dear Losing Sleep,

I am the proud sister of a brother with LD, dysgraphia, epilepsy, and a little-known can't keep a secret syndrome He is always spoiling surprises---a bit impulsive.

Anyway, my brother struggled and my parents struggled, and while the attention was not on me as often, I grew in to the person I am today because of that dynamic. I am now a Educational Consultant. The month I graduated with a master's in Special Education, my brother graduated with a BS in Computer Science. He is a daily inspiration to me. I draw upon the years of ups and downs my parents went through fighting for his education in my own practice as an advocate. Read our history at www.jhursey.com

I guess my point is that what you are going through is tough and will continue to be, but both your children will be great---you'll see. And it will be because of you and them, learning from each other.

Please write me if you want some help understanding the evaluation process, etc.
Sincerely yours,
Jen
