About this title

Synopsis

Learning differences allow kids to think outside the box and move from ordinary to extraordinary thinking, offering new perspectives that can shift the future--and in some cases, providing solutions to the impossible! But this potential is lost when we place children that learn differently in a box! The box of if you can’t read well, you can’t learn well! If you can’t write well, your ideas are limited! And, at the bottom of the box, you will do O.K. but that’s it! Limits are put on you by others and, even worse, yourself! If we are willing to step outside of this box, change our approaches to learning, and actually see learning differences for what they are, we will see a whole new world of abilities that these kids will show us! It’s time for learning differences to be understood and for kids to stand up and voice what they need to help them learn. Beyond OK: From Invisible to Invincible takes you on Susan Schenk’s inspirational journey as she discovers the world of learning differences--as a child, a professional, and a parent. For Susan, school was a place of dread, where shame and quiet despair led her to feel invisible. She developed strategies to survive this world she didn’t fit in. A world she couldn’t leave. A world that requested so much of her each day. A world where she was overlooked as she was able to get by and “do O.K.” Susan used her strengths to slowly figure out how she learned. Susan completed a college fitness diploma--and then completed five years of university. As an Occupational Therapist, Susan re-entered her “world of dread”, working in school settings for over twenty years.
