HELLO CLINT,

I AM SEEKING HELP FOR MY 11 YEAR OLD SON WHO SUFFERS FROM SICKLE CELL ANIMIA AND ALSO IS DEVELOPMENTALLY DELAYED WHICH I THINK ADDS TO HIS LEARNINING DIFFERENCES. HE IS IN THE 6 GRADE AND HAS NOT PASSED 1ST GRADE READING LEVEL. I HAVE TRIED TURTORING AND STILL THE SAME. HE GETS SO FUSTRATED WITH TRYING TO LEARN AND THAT EFFECTS IS BEHAIVOR IN SCHOOL. HE ACTS OUT IN CLASS. TALKS BACK TO THE TEACHER AND AID AND IS ALWAYS GETTING SENT TO DETENTION. I FEEL THIS IS BECAUSE HE FEELS HE CANT DO THE WORK. SO INSTEAD OF TRYING HE WILL DO SOMETHING BAD TO GET KICKED OUT OF CLASS SO HE WONT HAVE TO DO HIS WORK... PLEASE DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR ME? WE LIVE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IN THE SOUTH BAY AREA, LONG BEACH. IF YOU KNOW OF ANYONE THAT CAN HELP ME PLEASE FORWARD THE INFO TO MY EMAIL ADDRESS. ALSO SOMETHING THAT IS LOW COST. I GOT LAID OFF MY JOB IN FEB OF THIS YEAR. IT IS HARD ENOUGH TRYING TO PAY MY BILLS. I NEED HELP FOR MY SON SO I HAVE TO DO WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO HELP HIM BEFORE ITS TO LATE. 
THANK YOU,
ANGELA JONES

The kitty petty institute was the primary source for positive self image information
when I was first diagnosed with adhd & dyslexia. It spurred me on to think about ways
to create learning processes that will inhance the "abilities" inherent to add/adhd/ld
rather than attempting to mainstream and reorganize the add mind to operate as though
there is something wrong with it.I hope to go to school to attain credentials which will allow me to do just this.
