A learning disability or a learning difference?

Through online business networking, I’ve had the privilege of meeting many talented and interesting people.  Debra Shiveley Welch is one of them.  Debra is a published author of several books.  Among them is “Son of My Soul - The Adoption of Christopher”.  Chris was born with a cleft lip and palate and has had some learning differences.  She recently posted an excerpt from the book on her blog that describes her response to a teacher who told her her son was “incapable of learning.”  Debra chose not to believe what she was told and Chris now a teen, has proven that he is very capable of learning and has become a talented and accomplished young man.  Read Debra’s article here.

If you are considering adoption or have adopted a child yourself, you’ll want to read Debra’s moving and beautifully written story of adopting her son Chris.  All of her books are on her website.
