Again, any chance that we might get this sleep deprivation curriculum from
your colleague, Wendy?

The echoes from this discussion list have been wide and deep, so thanks once
more for your facilitation.

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."
