Another great post on dyslexia. It’s much more common than most people think and is not a vision issue. It’s deeper language/phonology issue.

This!

Early signs of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) often show up long before a formal diagnosis is made. Chronic mouth breathing, noisy or effortful breathing, restless sleep, and daytime behavioral or focus challenges can all be subtle red flags that something deeper is going on with airway function.

Recognizing these patterns early is key. When addressed promptly, we can support healthier breathing habits, guide proper orofacial growth, and help prevent the progression toward more serious conditions like obstructive sleep apnea.

If you or your child show signs of disrupted sleep or inefficient breathing, a comprehensive airway evaluation can make all the difference. Early intervention = better long-term outcomes.

We are always writing in sessions & here is the reason for it! Thank you for this great graphic and information --Rocky Mountain Branch. Writing engages & reinforces brain function (i.e. executive function skills). Paper & pencil, paper & pencil, paper & pencil--please!

✍️ Handwriting is not outdated — it’s neuroscience in action.

✴️ Writing by hand is a full-body brain workout. It activates thinking, sensing, moving, and remembering — all at once. Each stroke engages fine motor control, sensory awareness, focused attention, and memory.

Typing is faster, but handwriting builds deeper neural connections and makes learning more lasting. It slows you down — in the best possible way — so your brain can truly absorb, not just record.

What a great message from an MLB player—thank you George Springer, for sharing yourself to support and help others, especially children who stutter!

TORONTO -- George Springer is many things, a list that just grew again with his Game 7 heroics in the ALCS. He’s a World Series champion, a World Series MVP, a four-time All-Star and now the author of one of the greatest moments in Blue Jays history, his three-run home
