[senco-forum] Ruth Miskin's Fresh Start

I agree Aly... it could have been APD.

or many other things

I did not spend too much time searching for labels to be honest.  I looked
for and found the teaching solutions that improved these children's
literacy...  maybe what I did did impact on their APD.  I wouldn't know
(though I would love to).  But as a teacher results are what is needed for
the kid and the parents.

Labels are very handy if they lead to at least part solutions.  And often
they do.  Our dyslexia screening does guide us as to who can have a precious
place in our dyslexia unit.  Vision labels lead us to refer to optometrists,
etc etc.
