Brad Elder is a PhD, a university professor, and an advocate for dyslexics everywhere, especially urging dyslexic kids to go on to college.
About Brad's dyslexia pages:
received my Ph.D. from Kansas State University (On 4/23/01! Yahoo!), I am currently a visiting lecturer at the University of Oklahoma and I have dyslexia. When I started working on this page, I was amazed at how hard it was, on a personal level, to write about my handicap. It took more than two years to complete. Most of that was just avoiding the topic. If you should want to talk about dyslexia, feel free to call or e-mail me. Really! I've been there. It's not an easy place to be without information.This Page is for anyone (teachers) who wants to learn about dyslexia, who is, or has a child with dyslexia. It's a personal piece of me and I do not want it to appear in news papers etc. without first oking it with me. I know it's on the web, I put it up on the web to help those of you whom it may, but It's only in the dyslexic categories and I hope it stays there. This is not a sugar-coated peace of my past and it's very personal, I hope you will treat it that way. If you would like to link to this page feel free to do so but please let me know.
Loved your web site. Our son Kyle is a junior at a dyslexic school with one on one tutoring in Orton Gillingham on a daily basis, located in Amenia New York. You mentioned earlier that you would like to teach at a small private high school. Here it is. Our concern is the next step. We know too many college grads who get out and can't find jobs. He has a passion for history and the American Civil War but our concerns are how can he make a living in this. We are looking at the next step. We are attempting to look at small highly structured schools. Any advise you have would be appreciated. Was thinking perhaps hotel management? Our son also has expressed an interest to have his own business. A Hotel Management major might give him general skills he could use with any small business. Thinking that a specific skill would be better than a general major. Your advice and comments would be greatly appreciated.
