C&FD Rocks the Cradle from Infancy to College!

An educator at Child and Family Development is privileged to work with many school-aged children (from kindergarten though to college)diagnosed with dyslexia, dysgraphia, auditory processing delays and ADHD.

During my 24 years at Child and Family Development I have tested and treated so many of these unique learners. I have learned that a child can overcome dyslexia, can overcome dysgraphia, can compensate for auditory processing disorders, and can learn to manage ADHD. With the right diagnosis and treatment, a struggling learner will become a successful learner.  

Children such as these have passed through the doors of Child and Family Development. The names below are changed, but their stories are true.

1.     Melissa: a mom of several beautiful children who went to college and overcame her dyslexia and auditory processing delays.   

2.     Gordon: a double major college graduate of Davidson and now in graduate school overcame his processing speed and written expression delays

3.     Charlie: A freshman at Queens College who attended several Learning Disabilities schools and, after much therapy, overcame dyslexia and successfully manages his ADHD.

4.     James: a high school senior who made a 1600 on his SAT and who overcame processing delays in writing and reading. His college essay is completed.

5.     Mary: A home schooled young girl treated from 2^nd grade to 4^th grade recently wrote to announce she misses Child and Family Development and wishes she still had dyslexia so she could come back!
