In today’s episode, we get to spend time with Kait Feriante from Tennessee. Kait is a mother of three, one who has dyslexia and dyscalculi. Kait is a behavior specialist and the founder of Redwood Literacy, Redwood Schools, and Redwood Learning. Several years ago, Kait became a special education teacher and worked in Chicago Public Schools where she discovered many middle schoolers who couldn't read independently. Eventually, Kait and her husband started Redwood Literacy to help students manage their learning differences of dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia. They have grown and have resources and mentors available to help students all over the US. In our discussion, we acknowledged that involved parents who read to and spend time with their kids help children with learning differences; but differences, like dyslexia, do require specialized attention. This is such an informative, helpful episode for all to understand more about dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia; and parents can learn about quality resources that Redwood Literacy offers children with learning differences.
