Wendy, might we get the sleep curriculum or contact info? I suspect that
many Ss could benefit from knowing about this phenomenon.
Several years back, studies came out saying that teenagers should start
school at 9 or 10, not 7 or 8. Me, too!

Such interesting questions, Laura! Our LD specialist, who appropriately
teaches our lowest-level reading classes, also found sleep deprivation to be
a serious issue -- some of her students (and, I suspect mine) slept only 3-4
hours a night but had no sense that this affected them negatively. She put
together a whole sleep curriculum to deal with that.
One of my students this year has a pretty severe version of the vision
issues you mentioned. We managed to find a developmental ophthalmologist
who takes her insurance; now the problem is to get her to make an
appointment, as despite her obvious problems, she insists that she sees
"well enough."
