Math Wars
Tags: parental issues, research, schoolWhat do you think of the new discovery methods for teaching math today? Do you agree or would you like to see us go ‘back to basics’? Alberta parents successfully fought to get basic math skills back into the classroom.

I attended your presentation last night (Wed March 26th) in Newmarket. You are as fantastic as I hoped you would be after reading your books. I think I need a daily dose of Alyson!
My son has ADHD with a heavy executive function disability. Everyday I advocate at school to help him get past the fog of executive function limitations to find the diamond. When I think I have no more energy left to understand what is behaviour and what is an LD I pick up one of your books, laugh at your tongue in cheek humour, and cry for your brilliance. I have often said I should leave him on your doorstep and he’d have the best chance at life. Since that is not possible I remain an “Alyson groupie.” You are a treasure and you make a difference every day in the life of our family.

Kerri – what a wonderful note. You have made my day! It was a great group of parents last night and I am glad you found value in the presentation. Having executive function issues makes life more of a challenge, but it sounds like you are a great mom to help him through. We all need to support one another – and yes – laughter is the best medicine!! Hugs, Alyson
