Happy Thanksgiving From God’s Got This® - Sean Nielsen Foundation

Remembering Seaner

November 10^th, 2017 will be a day that my heart started hurting and it will hurt …forever.   2017 marks 4 years since Sean has been living in Heaven and I have tried to survive living on this earth without him.  Without the loss of Sean our foundation would never have been developed; and I know that Sean is glad that we are reaching out to others to help them.  I miss him and cry for days before and after, but the people we help makes the pain a little less each year.  This foundation has given my life meaning again; I am forever grateful to have this effort to give my focus to.

Honor Sean’s memory by joining our foundation and help others that don’t need a hand out, but support, guidance and a friend.

Do for others what encompassed Seaner’s life;

o   Love God and Spread His Word

o   Make others smile

o   Love Unconditionally

o   Make a goal of independence

o   Help anyone that needs help

Americans Lack a Basic Understanding of Learning Disabilities (LDs)

This survey completely astonished me - In 2017 and this is still going on?

The National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) recently released a revealing new survey showing that Americans lack a basic understanding of learning disabilities (LDs).

The survey of nearly 2,000 American adults finds that Americans are confused about the causes, treatments, and rights of those with LDs. Myths persist regarding the correlation between IQ, poor vision and childhood vaccines to LDs.

A few highlights from the survey include:

·       Over 66% of parents want more information about learning disabilities than schools currently provide.

·       33% of respondents said it is appropriate to ask a job candidate if they have a learning disability, when it is in fact against the law.

·       43% of those polled said that there is a negative relationship with IQ and the presence of learning disabilities, where no such correlation exists.

·       22% incorrectly believe learning disabilities can be caused by too much screen time; 31% believe a cause is poor diet; 24% believe a cause is childhood vaccinations.
