The purpose of the  “Ask a Shelton Expert” blog is to share timely information and address questions related to serving individuals with dyslexia and related disorders.  This venue will allow Shelton staff to share information gained from recent readings and conference attendance.  It will also give you access to the wealth of knowledge held by our staff.

Although we encourage discussion and questions in this forum, please know that we hold the confidentiality of the individual paramount, so questions specific to your child should be addressed through a phone call or personal visit.  If your child attends a Shelton program, please call your child’s teacher or the appropriate administrator.  If your child does not attend a Shelton program, please call a member of the Outreach staff at 972.774.1772 x223.

The information given in this blog is based on the knowledge of the Shelton staff.  We are not able to diagnose or prescribe programs for individuals in this venue, but can pass on information that we hope will prove helpful to you.

The major contributor to this blog will be Joyce S. Pickering, Executive Director of Shelton School.  Joyce’s entire career path has been devoted to helping learning-different students. Her professional career began in the 1960’s as a speech pathologist.
