Sharing “I CAN!” attitudes: Jordan

Can & Will Succeed!

I thought I would share our joy in beating the odds. My son has a severe learning disability, ADHD combined type, and has seizure activity that fires 6-12 seconds in length throughout the day. Needless to say, school has been a real heartache. “Mom, there’s only 49 days of school left. That means I’m going to have lots of homework that comes home now….and I’m actually excited” he says with a smile.

Jordan carries several diagnoses and for nearly all of his schooling, he hasn’t been able to comprehend phonics; reading; math; writing or even speech near “age level”. Ironically, I just had his IEP meeting with school. He is climbing charts and excited about learning.
