Resilience Room | Eileen Devine. I’m Eileen, a therapist, neurobehavioral consultant, and mother to a child with a neurobehavioral disability that has challenging behavioral symptoms. After attending the life-changing three-day FASCETS training on the neurobehavioral model many years ago, the way my husband and I viewed our daughter and her behaviors was forever changed. However, when we returned home and were in the thick of day-to-day parenting, we found that things were still really hard, and that it was challenging to stay in the neurobehavioral mindset all on our own.
I felt like I still needed to grow in my understanding of the model as her parent, and needed the support of others outside of our family unit who “got it.” This sent me on a search to find a person or a community that could walk alongside us, support us, help us grow, and provide us with hope. I came to dead end after dead end in my search.
Special Education. New paper by Jo Boaler & Tanya LaMar Nicholas Letchford grew up in Australia, a quiet boy who loved to build and solve puzzles. In Nicholas’ first years of school his parents were told that he was learning disabled, that he had a very low IQ and that he was “the worst child they had seen in 20 years”.

It is finally here – our new page to help anyone who teaches students with learning differences or disabilities (or whatever the phrase you use!). We know we are not special educators and do not have the detailed knowledge that teachers in the field do, but we do hope we are sharing some helpful resources and ideas. On our new page we have a new short impact paper that I co-authored with my student Tanya LaMar. It is called Valuing Difference and Growth: A Youcubed Perspective on Special Education..

Homepage | Intelligent Lives. 7 free tools for anyone who wants to become a better writer. The awesome (and scary) thing about being a writer is that you can always improve. It’s why people can sit on a draft for weeks—every time they take “one more look,” they can find a way to make it better. While it’s definitely a fun challenge to see how long you can keep finessing your work, it’s not always practical. After all, your boss usually doesn’t want you working on that press release for weeks on end while you try to brainstorm the perfect opening line. Thankfully, there are plenty of resources out there that can speed the editing process up and make you more confident about the work you’re submitting. For today, I went though Product Hunt’s newest Tools for Writers collection and chose my seven favorites.
Use them all, and you’ll be a stronger writer faster than you can say, “How did I ever live without these?” 1. As much as Microsoft Word’s AutoCorrect function annoys us, we must admit to missing those green and red squiggly lines when we’re writing online. 2. 3. 4. 5. 7.
