Learning disabilities are a very personal experience.

You are what you bring to the experience and you don't walk around with labels on your head. As the students become successful they take pride in being part of the SALT program. Many are earning the best grades they ever have and they're proud of that.

Students with learning and attention challenges have been entering higher education in much increased numbers over the last 10 years. We've seen our alumni go on to graduate school in increasingly larger numbers.

I like learning to be as real and meaningful as possible. A lot of lessons come out of the habitat area.

They're learning about the hazards of birds who migrate.

It's going to be a learning curve. We've got to roll with the punches. We are going to get better and learn from our mistakes, but I think our offense is really sound and we have speed and power. We don't have a lot of flashy players, but we've got a lot of workhorses, and now they have to believe in their roles and stick to our plan.
