Dear Alicia,
I want to start off by saying hello to the SWEETEST person in the world!!!! I just got off the phone with Vanessa, and I asked her for your e-mail. She gave it to me than asked if she could help. I told her I just met you (And I broke down and started to cry). This is going to sound like a REALLY bad Hallmark card. But for the first time in years, I feel alive again. I hung on to every word you said (I too struggle with ADHD, and bi-polar) It is hard for me to understand everything you said, but I felt what you told Pam will help them in giving Georgia the appropriate test, and than by the grace of God she can get the help she will need to function in this world.
Of all of the test that were done, I felt hands down the Auditory test was the most accurate in describing Georgia. The other tests might as well be scraps of garbage. They didn’t tell me anything that I already didn’t know. She’s average here, she below average here. But what does that mean. The Auditory told me what she was below average in and then gave me examples of what that test expected of her. When I read the Characteristic of the results, I was in shock. That IS Georgia!!!
I have been reading so much about phonological dyslexia, I just about fell asleep at the computer. Let me know if you have any reading materials in “Layman terms” so much of these sites and reports are so much over my head. I did call Pam yesterday and asked her to relate to me what you said, and she brought up the processing test and the dyslexia.
Anyhow I had to write and thank you for giving me the time of day. I just NEVER and I mean NEVER thought you would have given me that kind of time and to do it so quickly. I hope you NEVER change. Just think we never met, we just talked on the phone and look how you effected me.
Thank you again.
Sincerely Hugs,
Robyn Collins
