An adult man is standing in front of a ladder where the bottom rungs are missing. He can’t climb. Next to him are children cheering on a little boy who can climb his ladder because none of the rungs are missing.
Struggling with reading doesn’t mean you aren’t smart.
Too many intelligent people struggle with reading, literacy, or comprehension because the education system failed to provide the right supports, if any.
Reading accommodations are not shortcuts. They are access.
