May 21, 2004 -- Help Support Our Children!
Some of you may already know that "The No Child Left Behind Act" implemented by President Bush does not support children with Learning Disabilities such as Attention Deficit Disorder, Dyslexia, etc...
Unfortunately, these children are indeed left behind!
Too much focus is on Medication instead of Education and Intervention.
Here at KiriEssentials.com we are trying to raise money for several children with Attention Deficit Disorder (AD/HD), Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) and Dyslexia.
We are asking for your help and support! Our Children need it!
Just by donating $1, we figure we can help a child go to a specialized school that will specifically address his/her learning differences while gauging their "true" potential!
If you can contribute $1 to this cause and/or forward this message to a friend, we can possibly succeed in getting the necessary help for at least one child; who may very well be our next future doctor or scientist!
Please go to www.KiriEssentials.com and make your $1 donation today! Invest in our kids!
We Value and Appreciate Your Support!

It time we realized, that as a group, we could have substantial influence over legislation and elections; Influence that would highlight the need for more funding and education reform.
Even with conservative numbers, 10% of the US population has some form of dyslexia.
30,000,000 people with out a voice. School systems around the US know how to help. Because of programs like No Child Left Behind they are forced by restrictions on curriculum and are limited in the assistant that can be given during a standard test.
Over the years I have herd of politicians lining up to talk with groups like MADD which said in 1998 it represents 3,000,000 people. The NRA with it has nearly 3,000,000 members And Christian Coalition of America with 2,000,000. All of these groups are dedicated to there cause. And the politicians want there support.
The 30,000,000 plus Dyslexics go unheard even though we represent a broadest demographic covering the entire social and economic spectrum.
The concerns for though of us with this particular disability are the same for those with out it. How do we get the most out of the education system?
How do we allow teachers to do there jobs and inspire children.
It is time we dismiss the standardized test for any other purpose other then a bench mark to help recognize areas of weakness.
It is time we begin teaching the children how to learn instead teach them what to learn for “The Test”.
It is time that money spent on special educational service is seen as investment in the work force of tomorrow instead of a drain on local and state budgets today.
It time to look at ways to improve the education systems through the eyes of those who struggle with it and implement one of the enduring qualities of dyslexics’, creativity.
