Cool! Here's mine. http://fivedollar...gspot.com/
This is a serial fiction that takes place in the American West in 1860, at a mail/stagecoach station in the Nebraska territory (in this case, modern-day Wyoming). The idea is to have a little episodic "soap" that runs week to week. I'm even looking for an artist to do some illustration sketches for it.
If you liked Big Valley, Young Riders, Wagon Train, Bonanza, etc, you will probably like my story. 
I may also eventually add commentary about various western movies, books, series, or whatever.

Mine is here:[url] http://blogwithou...web-log.nl [/url](it's in English).
It's about my interests and stuff that happens in my life. Since I have a few 'special interests/perseverations' and they tend to take turns being in the spotlight of my mind, the seeming main topic might vary.
I chose the name because I like the sound, so there might actually be a topic after all .
If you happen to leave a comment it might take a long (loooong) time before it shows up, because I approve them manually, and though I get an e-mail when there is a new comment, I often do something like: "Oh, new comment. I'll go approve it in a minute." And then totally forget about it.

Hey, Seannaholic, I checked out your vid and your blog. Nice!
On the subject of blogs, I'm pretty pleased that I actually managed to stay more or less on a sort of shedule with mine. Posted roughly 21 thousand words of fiction, not included the occasional personal post.
Yay, me!

I don't have a blog, but I do write entries on my Myspace. Is that applicable?

This my academic-educational blog about history of Latvia- my homeland. I started this three weeks ago and I really like it because I could prove myself and possibly others that despite my math and grammar difficulties I can make historic publications. Just don't brag about my dyscalculia because there is a people who don't understand us people. Other than that you can enjoy the wonderful art of science of history. |

Hi, this is my blog, http://dhruva-mat...gspot.com/ it deals with how an Indian sees different things, but that is a small part of my blog as my blog deals with different things through the perspective of a youngster |

I don't have a public blog right now, but I'm working on getting around to converting my site over to wordpress where I'll eventually resume publicly blogging. Did so for about 6 years and moved to livejournal for privacy reasons.
My Livejournal is here: http://tehrin.liv...
Though it's friends only (please comment on the first post at the top, and I'll add you if you're an LJ member) |

Hi Judy_Hanning! Nice to meet you. I'm sure that, a few short years ago, if you'd tried to tell me about learning disabilities, I would have been nodding and smiling, and not understanding a thing you were telling me. I didn't know about dyscalculia until two and a half years ago, and it was, of course, for me a life-changing discovery, being as I am dyscalculic.
I have a freind who home schooled her two children. Both children have superior reading skills, and of course, family trips could be taken whenever the father's schedule permitted, since the children's schedule was flexible. But, sadly, from my point of view, the home schooling doesn't look entirely successful in this case, as the daughter has become an 'adult' without finishing either a HS diploma nor a GED, and her math skills are deficient, although there are no signs of dyscalculia. The mother, in fact, says that neither she nor her husband were really up to that last level of math themselves. So, although I know that the parents were protecting their children from certain bad elements in the Public Ed System, and at great sacrifice and effort to themselves, I do want parents to 'seek assistance' when they realise that the child needs more than the parent is able to provide. I'm sure that this is 'not' the situation in your case, as just with this first post of your (above) you show your awareness of all of today's issues and how to take best advantage of all support for home schooling.
Our Admin, eoffg (Geoff), is likewise very keen on intervening with 'exercises' to improve things where there are little neuro 'glitches'. And, I hope you won't mind my question. Does one of your children have an LD, and was this the beginning of your awareness and decision to advocate for people with LD's? - jus' |

Hi...
I am new to this site and so thrilled that I found it.
I have a 17 yr old son who is in 11th grade and gets all accomodations, as part of their program offers LD tutorials etc......BUT BUT......he is dysgraphic,....no issue.....but has huge reading comp issues and according to his teacher he "needs more than just remediation....."(but offers zero suggestions after i ask) and has MAJOR dyscalculia.... I have searched the country for a summer program where they can help my son. Every place offers "ENRICHMENT" AP MATH etc........He has been diagnosed since 3rd grade but schools, tutors etc...always put a band aid on everything, saying: Build his confidence.....well great so now he feels great about himself...only to learn now that he can barely do basic math. The only place I found is Linda Moot Bell....but its $13,000.00 for 6 weeks.....that seems like a lot. I can go anywhere in the US....for the sumer or 4-6 weeks...preferably in or around a large city...... If anyone can suggest a program that would be great. ALso, the programs that I did find only went up to 7th grade..... |

Dear beemercorp,
I think that you've got a wonderful idea, hunting for a way to help your son 'catch up' on his math during the Summer under guidance from 'someone' who knows what they are doing. That's an absolutely great idea. I do so wish that I knew of something. I realize that by the time any of us could implement such a great idea, your 17 year old son will already be facing other challenges, both in education and in life.
What you are searching for makes me feel like I've just taken a breath of fresh air. I think that another thing that makes me feel so optomistic, when reading your post, is that you would be able to invest and send him 'to' this 'place', if only it existed. So often, beemercorp, here on this forum, any adult who is posting is 'dyscalculic' and has already exhausted all their funds just having worked poorly paying jobs for so long, and having paid for taking and failing college math classes.
When a young dyscalculic person comes here, often they are searching for a way to be tested, because they've heard about dyscalculia and feel deeply that this is their problem, yet so often their parents are reluctant to allow them to be tested or to accept the results. Sometimes there will be parents or students here asking, "What math help is there for dyscalculics?" There will be suggestions and tips given, but as you know, there's only 'so much' that any dyscalculic can do in any given timeframe. Yet, what you are searching for seems to me the only viable thing that could really help a dyscalculic. He needs to work on math over the Summer, mixing in time for math with time for recreation. I can totally see how math, taught and tutored by people specially trained to be supportive of dyscalculics, combined with intermittent 'breaks', allowing for a 30 minute walk down a wooded trail and eating a hot dog, could absolutely work wonders for the student's improvement in math. That would be a wonderful concept.
No, I don't know of any program like this. Several of our dyscalculic members here have had experience as 'camp counselors'. Some of us are trying to become 'teachers', but there is a College Algebra requirement for 'certified teachers' that stands in my way, and in the way of most other dyscalculics. I can do arithmetic and got an A up though the developmental math course called "Pre-Algebra". Some of my fellow 'normal' students were coming to me for help, because I really did understand it up to that point. If I could get my teaching certificate, I would actually enjoy helping other dyscalculics reach 'this' level. (I failed Elementary Algebra three times, so I wouldn't be trying to teach or tutor that.;)) I think that it's very sad that so few dyscalculics are able to become certified teachers, as we are the very ones who would have complete empathy in helping others develope their own techniques, or adopt ours, so as to make it to a level of math (and other daily life skills) that would serve them throughout the rest of their lives.
I hope you find something. If not here in the US, might there be something in Canada? Germany? Whoever knows anything and reads this, I'll hope will chime in. - jus'
Oh, beemercorp, you may have misread about 'introducing yourself'. What the 'instructions' mean is that you can start your own Thread to introduce yourself. If you want to, go ahead and start your own Thread,... name it something like 'Camp for Math?' and say the same thing over again. I'll copy and paste my response 'there' if you do that.

Hi Beemer,
You wrote that he also has huge reading comprehension issues and dysgraphia? Where I must say that this raises the question of a common cause of his difficulties?
I would ask what sort of evaluations you have had? As what you've written, makes me wonder whether he has some unrecognised vision difficulty? Which goes beyond 20/20 vision? |

Hi, cool blog- welcome! I just started looking at it and right away noticed about your sweet Lab - reminds me of dear boy at the Bridge. I'm a dog trainer and currently live with two young Rottie girls who are half-sisters. My Lab was Moose, through rescue, who went to the Bridge at 13. If you're interested in seeing any of my dogs, I can direct you to some pages.
U vegan? I was vegan at one time, while at my university. I was diagnosed there also with math LD or dyscalculia. I kept failing remedial university math and finally went to Disabled Student Services, where the director started the referral process for me to get tested.
I enjoy coconut milk and have that or almond milk on my oatmeal every morning. |
