Sharing your own disability story with students, parents, and children can make a big difference in someone's life.  However, by the same token, sharing can be risky and often depends on an individual's own circumstances.  Today's episode offers some "food for thought" because sometimes sharing our own struggles helps others see a way through their own challenges.  In today's episode, you will hear a replay of Jimmy from Episode 22 telling us how a professor helped him by sharing his own history of poor test-taking.  You will also learn about three K-12 educators from an article in Edweek.org about school leaders who shared their own struggles with disabilities, including dyslexia, ADHD, and hearing loss.  The article is titled "School Leaders With Disabilities: It's Important to Share That Your Are Not Alone," by Denise R. Superville from August 10, 2022.
