Learning Disabilities Awareness• Learning Disabilities Awareness Month is a

time where people pay particular attention to children and adults with learning disabilities.

• President Ronald Reagan designated or proclaimed October as LD Awareness Month in 1985.

President Reagan’s Proclamation (1985)

From a boy timid, frightened, depressed, and withdrawn . . .

to a young boy filled with promise, a future, self-confidence, skills, and talents beyond measure.

Learning Disabilities Awareness• Dyslexia – reading disability• Dysgraphia – handwriting and written expression

disability• Dysphasia – a partial impairment of the ability to

communicate• Dyscalculia – math disability• Dyspraxia – fine and gross motor disability • Cognitive, information, perceptual (auditory,

visual), sensory processing deficits

AD/HD Awareness• Attention Deficit with and without

Hyperactivity Disorder• Common Types of AD/HD:

– Predominantly inattentive type– Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type– Combination type

AD/HD AwarenessDr. Daniel Amen’s 7 types of ADD:• 1. Classic ADD

Symptoms: Inattentive, distractible, hyperactive, disorganized and impulsive. Normal brain activity at rest; decreased brain activity during concentrated tasks.

• 2. Inattentive ADDSymptoms: Short attention span, distractible, disorganized, procrastinates, may daydream and be introverted; not hyperactive or impulsive; impacts girls as much or more than boys.

• 3. Over-Focused ADDSymptoms: Core symptoms of Classic ADD, plus trouble shifting attention, going from thought-to-thought or task-to-task; getting stuck in negative thought patterns or behaviors.

• 4. Temporal Lobe ADDSymptoms: Core symptoms of Classic ADD, as well as learning, memory, and behavioral problems, such as quick anger, aggression, and mild paranoia.

• 5. Limbic ADDSymptoms: Core symptoms of Classic ADD, as well as chronic low-level sadness (not depression): moodiness, low energy, frequent feelings of helplessness or excessive guilt, and chronic low self-esteem.

• 6. Ring of Fire ADD (“ADD plus”)Symptoms: Sensitivity to noise, light, touch; periods of mean, nasty behavior; unpredictable behavior; speaking fast; anxiety and fearfulness.

• 7. Anxious ADDSymptoms: Core symptoms of Classic ADD, as well as being anxious and tense, having physical stress symptoms like headaches and stomachaches, predicting the worst, freezing in anxiety-provoking situations, especially if being judged.

National Youth Justice Awareness• On September 30, 2015 President Obama

proclaimed for October to be National Youth Justice Awareness Month.

• This month-long observance is dedicated to:– Preventing youth from entering the juvenile and

criminal justice systems– Encouraging communities to participate in

activities and programs that help youth fulfill their greatest potential.

School-to-Prison Pipeline• Students with disabilities, who are served by the Individuals

with Disabilities Education Act, were twice as likely to receive one or more out-of-school suspensions

• According to Secretary of Education John King, data shows that students of color, English language learners, and students with disabilities are facing serious educational inequities.

• “We all lose out in multiple ways. We lose out economically because people who are poorly educated earn less, pay less in taxes and need more services. They will also more likely end up in prison,” King said.

• “But we lose out in other ways that are not obvious. We can’t help but think of the art that is not created, the entrepreneurial ideas that may never reach the drawing board, the classrooms these Americans will never lead, the discoveries they’ll never make. Our failure to educate some groups children as well as others tear at the moral fabric of the nation.”

Did You Know?• According to the National Center of Learning Disabilities

(NCLD), 20% of students with LD drop out of high school vs. 8% of students in the general population.

• Teens and young adults involved in the juvenile or adult criminal justice systems are disproportionately identified as having special needs in school and are disproportionately low-income, Black and Hispanic. Many of them are significantly behind in school and have learning disabilities, AD/HD or developmental delays, etc.

• That at least 37% of incarcerated youth were eligible for services under IDEA. It estimated that 10% had specific learning disabilities and as many as 50% had AD/HD.

Did You Know?• The 2014 “Just Learning” report published by the Southern

Education Foundation and using federal data found that 30% of youth in the juvenile justice system in 2010 had learning disabilities; 45% had problems paying attention.

• According to a 2014 report, by the Justice Policy Institute, locking up a juvenile cost states an average of $407.58 per person per day and $148,767 per person per year. We all pay the price for this in wasted talent, lost earnings and tax revenues.

• While confined, they lack access to a high-quality, specialized education and other services providing the range and intensities of personal, cognitive, socioemotional, interest/talent and academic supports needed to help them rebuild their lives and gain valuable skills.

• Among working-age adults with LD vs. those without LD: 55% vs. 76% are employed; 6% vs. 3% of adults are unemployed; and 39% vs. 21% are not in the labor force partly due to the lack of education.

Did You Know?• A student is more likely to be arrested and

possibly face felony charges for fighting in Florida than any other state in the nation.

• According to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Florida leads the nation in school-based arrests, and the school-to-prison pipeline is funneling students out of the classroom into the criminal justice system at alarming rates.

• Escambia County School District (ECSD) has one of the highest in-school arrest rates in the nation.

Positive Youth Justice (PYJ)• Positive Youth Justice (PYJ) is a method of adapting

Positive Youth Development for juvenile justice-involved youth.

• It requires policymakers, program developers, and practitioners to focus on developing two core assets in youth: – Learning/Doing through methods such as developing new

skills and competencies, actively using the skills, taking on new roles and responsibilities, and developing self-confidence

– Attaching/Belonging through actions such as becoming an active member of prosocial groups, enjoying the sense of belonging, placing a high value on service to others, and being part of a larger community.

When Casey asks Hugo for info about the pin, he says:

"Have you ever wondered what would happen if all the geniuses, the artists, the scientists, the smartest, most creative people in the world decided to actually change it? Where, where could they even do such a thing? They'd need a place free from politics and bureaucracy, distractions, greed— a secret place where they could build whatever they were crazy enough to imagine."
