Poker Chips

Amongst the many LD students that I have there is one who really stands out. Everything that we're learning about LD's from the Lavoie tapes seems to fit this student perfectly. He is the best natured kid out of the majority of my students. I want so much to just quit everything that I'm doing with all of my other students so I can give him all of my attention. He deserves it. He tries so hard but doesn't grasp hardly anything. He is very self-conscious about his abilities and knows that he is far behind everyone else. He comes to me and whispers when he needs something that he thinks may embarrass him. He needs all of the poker chips he can get and I hope I can see every opportunity to give them.
