Kids with a formal diagnosis, such as autism, Asperger's,
ADHD, learning disabilities, Sensory Processing Disorder, and Central Auditory
Processing Disorder--along those who just need to move while learning--often
find it challenging to shine in a traditional classroom. The kids who
collaborated to write and star in the "Dear Teacher" video represent
such students. So, they wanted to share with educators how their brain works
and offer simple ways teachers can help.
With a new school year starting, over 60 Brain Highways
kids collaborated to write a “Dear Teacher” letter—which they then turned into
a short (under two minutes) “Dear Teacher” video. School does greatly influence
how kids are viewed by others and how they view themselves. So, while it may
take years to change laws or how health care addresses mental health issues,
these kids hope their message will be shared with as many educators as
possible—knowing that teachers can truly make a huge difference, starting
TODAY. www.facebook.com/kidswhynotcampaign
