Changing our Perceptions on Special Education - Laura Reiff

Laura Reiff is a special education teacher from Chicago, IL. She has been a special education teacher for over 10 years. Her expertise in this field has inspired her to write children’s books with a passionate mission to lift the negative stigma of Special Education by planting the seeds of understanding and compassion through self-esteem.  Her first book, The Adventures of Naomi Noodles:  The Wonderful, Amazing, Splendiferous Me, has recently been published.   It is an inspirational story about a young girl coping with dyslexia.

In this, the first book of the series, Naomi Noodles faces the confusion of being told she is dyslexic, and the trials and tribulations of realizing how dyslexia can affect one’s life outside of just the learning environment. With a little help from a very special friend, Naomi begins to learn how to triumph over issues of bullying and family problems associated with her learning disability. Along the way she discovers just how wonderful, amazing and splendiferous she truly is.
