Even though I am really good at running, I can't hear things as easily as others can. I wear hearing aids in my ears to help me hear what is happening around me. At school, my teacher wears a small microphone that helps me to hear even better!

I have two moms. They both say I am a talented artist, but I find learning to read pretty tricky. It's hard for me to focus on the words and letters because sometimes my brain will mix them up on the page. My teacher gave me a tool that will read books to me. It helps me read all by myself!

Even though I have lots of great ideas, it's hard for me to write because I can't hold a pencil very easily. The muscles in my hands are just too tight! When we have writing projects at school, I speak slowly into a device. It types out what I am saying so that I can still write in my journal!

I am really good at making friends and playing pretend. Sometimes I have a hard time focusing because my body needs to move and my brain is full of ideas! At school I use a visual timer to help me focus on my work. Then I take breaks so that my brain and body are ready to learn!
