Purpose

This blog was going to originally be about helping my kids. We were doing the public school thing at the time and I realized I had gained quite a bit of experience and a few tips on how to advocate for your child in the public school system. We have been homeschooling for the past several years. I no longer need to work with the faculty/staff to help my children with their IEP goals and 504 needs. I don't know all of the ins and outs of the current system. There were also other professionals I was working with in regards to my children. I'm not working with them anymore either. So, not much of a need for a blog that covers that anymore.
I'm going to be focusing more on my journey. In all of that helping with the kids - I discovered that there's a 96.5% chance that I'm Adult ADD. I learned quite a bit about Executive Functioning at the time and now realize that it's going to be a journey for me to figure out what works best and how I can achieve my goals and fulfill needs. So, instead of this being about my kids...it's now about me.
My kids also have some executive functioning issues. That's how all of this started. The things I will be learning, sharing, and trying to work on are also things that I will be helping them with as well.
