*Patricia Polacco

Patricia Polacco is dyslexic, dysnumeric, dysgraphic, and has sensory processing issues. She told our students about being ridiculed at school. When she was 14, a teacher noticed that Patricia wasn’t actually reading and the teacher paid out of his own pocket to find a reading tutor who worked with Patricia to help her learn to read. Her message to our student was, “You are all brilliant, amazing people, and I know that each one of you can change the world.”
