The Journey from Diagnosis to Capitol Hill:One Family’s Personal Story
I have always been fascinated by the connection between language and reading. It was the focus of many of my papers in graduate school. But it wasn’t
until dyslexia became a personal experience for me that it developed into a real passion.
In The Beginning I Was Like Most ParentsMy oldest son, Yaakov, was born the day before my last final of graduate school. As a brand-new mom and brand-new speech therapist, I was excited to watch my son’s language develop. At nine months, he said his first word. At a year, he had over 100 words in his expressive vocabulary. At fifteen months, he put two words together. At eighteen months, he could talk about abstract concepts. By the time he was three, he was a sponge for knowledge. He loved learning about everything. He was fascinated by history - ancient China, ancient Egypt, the monarchies of England and France, the US Revolution, the Civil War. He loved science - was curious about genes, DNA, the human body, animals, machines, space, weather. I began reading chapter books to him, and his comprehension was advanced for a child of his young age. As mothers often tend to do, I began to envision a bright future for Yaakov that included an Ivy League education. Although, he wasn’t learning his letters at the same pace as his other developmental milestones, I figured he was an active, creative boy. I wasn’t going to be overly anxious yet.
A Little Nagging Feeling Tugged At MeYaakov started pre-K, and this little nagging feeling started to tug at me. I began to notice that the “smarter” kids in his class knew all their letters and were even beginning to sound out simple words. My son was so far from that. I decided that maybe he just needed more
direct instruction. I created flashcards and games and tried to practice with him. It was amazing how hard it was for him to remember that a “D” was called “D” or that an “M” was called “M.” Sometimes he would seem to get it, but then the next night it was like it all slipped right out of his memory again and we were starting from scratch.
School Became a Place of AnxietyHe started kindergarten, and the nagging feeling I had grew stronger. He began to hate school and developed significant anxiety. He started chewing his shirt and crying about not wanting to go to school. My husband and I met with his teacher for parent teacher conferences, but she wouldn’t acknowledge that something was wrong. Frustrated because we weren’t getting clear answers, we weren’t sure how to proceed. All we knew was that our bright, curious, lover-of-learning, intelligent, articulate son was turning into an anxious, sad, frustrated, confused boy. Still struggling to learn all the letters, struggling to sound out the most basic three letter words, our son was looking like a deer caught in headlights. As his anxiety continued to become more pronounced, so did ours. The boy we had identified as a future academic rock-star was turning into a school failure.
Witnessing Our Son’s Self Confidence ErodeTutoring for 45 minutes once a week was doing little to catch him up. At this point, we knew we needed to have our son evaluated. We were told that we would get more accurate information if we waited until he was six. We decided to schedule a full evaluation for November of his first grade year.
Rochelle Garfield is Speech-Language Pathologist with the Houston Independent School District (HISD) in Texas. With Rochelle’s experience as a Speech-Language Pathologist, and as a parent of three dyslexic children, Rochelle created a screening protocol that HISD Speech-Language Therapists can use to help identify students who need a full dyslexia evaluation. In three years, HISD has experienced a 268% increase in the diagnosis of dyslexia in its students. Rochelle’s screening protocol is one of several tools and processes the district credits for its success in identifying students with dyslexia.

First grade started and the situation just grew worse. In school, he was being treated like someone with a cognitive disability - sitting in the back of class, unable to do what the rest of the students were doing. His self-confidence was eroding fast.
It’s Dyslexia and The Quest to Find HelpAfter a few painful months of waiting, we finally got the results of the evaluation. With an extremely high IQ and extremely low scores in reading, it was clear that he was severely dyslexic. The word felt so good to say. Dyslexia. He wasn’t stupid. He had a real struggle, and now we just needed to figure out what kind of intervention would help.
The evaluator suggested a few schooling options to consider, including The Schenck School. When we went on a tour, we were blown away. We saw lots of children just like our son. Bright. Sweet. Intelligent. Articulate. Well-behaved. Kind. And struggling to read. As part of the tour, we watched a video of student and school life at Schenck. By the time the video ended, all of the parents in the room were wiping away tears. It was just too raw. We were all in the same boat, watching our children struggle. We all knew how much untapped potential lay inside each of them. The video was so affirming. For the first time in two years, we saw a glimmer of light.
After that, the decision was easy. The Schenck School was where we wanted our son.
The Road to Remediation The next fall, Yaakov began attending The Schenck School as a second grader. Slowly, we watched our son’s confidence return. He was treated like a star. And he was learning to read! Three years of The Schenck School - three years that changed his life forever. And changed all of our lives. We watched our son blossom and grow, and begin to believe he could do anything once again.
When our son mastered all his goals, we were told it was time for him to graduate. He would leave The Schenck School at the end of fourth grade and mainstream back to his old school for fifth grade. It was with a mixture
of sadness and pride that we prepared for his exit from Schenck. However, with six children, we were almost guaranteed another one who would benefit from Schenck. But life is complicated. We sadly said good-bye to Atlanta and The Schenck School and moved to Houston in the summer of 2011.
From Struggling Reader to an Intern on Capitol HillFast forward to 2016, we are all living in Houston, my oldest son, Yaakov, is an eleventh grade student in an academically rigorous high school and is doing extremely well. The Schenck School not only taught my son how to read but gave him the many tools he needs to be a successful student. The School taught him how to self-advocate. This past summer, he wanted to complete an internship in Washington, D.C. As he began looking into it, it seemed like most internships were only given to post-high school students. He refused to give up and secured an internship with the Democratic Whip, Steny Hoyer. Overcoming dyslexia has given Yaakov a sense of how to persevere and not be overwhelmed when the road ahead is long. He’s done it once, he can do it again! He thoroughly enjoyed his summer on Capitol Hill. That youthful love he had for history has turned into a more sophisticated love of politics. However, to me, the most amazing part of the summer experience was not the internship, but rather what Yaakov did every day after office hours! Every day he would walk over to the Library of Congress and just read and read! My son who struggled so hard to sound out basic words was spending his free moments reading!
The Schenck School started my family on an incredible journey by teaching us that the right intervention makes all the difference when it comes to dyslexia. Even more, it helped us appreciate the incredible gifts that come with dyslexia. We will be forever grateful to The Schenck School.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES
THE SCHENCK SCHOOL 2016-2017 ANNUAL REPORT
A s I reach the final year of my service as the Chair of the Board of Trustees, I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity to have been a
part of the life of this extraordinary School. My wife, Jennifer and our four boys, Charlie, Cooper, Jack, and David have had an incredible experience at The Schenck School. Specifically our boys are better learners and accomplished students due to the efforts of the entire Schenck School community. All of us – board members, students, families, alumni, faculty and staff, friends of all kinds - who have experienced this national treasure first-hand, understand the transformative gift of what happens at The Schenck School.
This Annual Report recognizes and celebrates those who have given of themselves to support our School. Your investment directly supports the incredible faculty, and enriches the experience of our students, from our youngest kindergarteners to our sixth grade learners.
Highlights of the year include:
• Support of the Annual Fund with generous contributions of over $621,000 and participation of 100% Board, 100% Faculty and Staff, and 92% Parents
• A fun “102 Challenge” from a former parent and grandparent to generate gifts in 102 hours in honor of our 102 newest alumni
• A spectacular Auction and Gala which broke all records for the event
• Meaningful growth in support from our alumni community
• Most importantly, we continue into our 58th year to provide the kind of education that Dee and David Schenck envisioned – focused, accelerated dyslexia remediation.
There are two people I would like to recognize for the special impact they have had on The Schenck School
this year. The first is our new Head of School, Josh Clark. If you have not had the opportunity to meet him, please reach out – his energy, vision, and devotion to children is magnetic, and we are grateful to him and his family for joining The Schenck School community.
The second is Mr. William C. (Bill) Hatcher. He was a trustee many years ago and continued to be long-time supporter of the School. He nurtured with his wisdom and service the infancy of what is now one of the most important schools for dyslexics in the country. He passed away recently and left a generous gift to the School which impacts the future health of our mission. We are most grateful to his memory and to his family.
Please accept my thanks to all of you for your kind support.
With warm regards,
David P. Higgins

THE SCHENCK SCHOOL 2016-2017 ANNUAL REPORT6
I love David Schenck. I never knew him personally, but I love him.
During my first few days in July 2016 as the new Head of School, I received a copy of the book The Schenck School’s First Forty Years: 1959-1999. I stayed up all one night reading it, waking my wife up occasionally saying “Listen to this!” “You have GOT to let me read you this!”
I felt as if I had just had a chat with David, because the book is chock full of David’s own words, his personality, enthusiasm, generosity of spirit, and complete devotion to children. It follows one man’s grand dream to create a school for dyslexics – from its launch in a humble church basement, to one of the nation’s finest schools of its kind.
My first year was fulfilling in ways I never expected. The School is in an enviable position of stability and strength due to the diligence of all who are a part of the past and current school community. Because of that strength, the Board of Trustees, along with the faculty and staff, have the opportunity to stand on those shoulders and plan wonderful ways to have more of an impact on the lives of people with dyslexia than ever before.
I sincerely echo the words of our Board of Trustees Chair, David Higgins. Thank you to all listed in this Annual Report for the magnificent support you have so freely and joyfully given to the faculty, staff, and students. It is not an exaggeration to say that, without it, the School would not be able to fulfill the mission of building a solid educational foundation for students with dyslexia and developing their rich potential.
I have enjoyed meeting and working with so many of you. Working together for a common purpose is tremendously fulfilling, and I appreciate your support, conversation, and desire to help!
Sincerely,
Josh J. Clark

Sporting Clays for Kids
On April 20, a beautiful spring day at Blalock Lakes, the second annual “Sporting Clays for Kids” was held to benefit The Schenck School. The event founder and chairman, Schenck School alumnus John Curtis Fisher, said “As someone who has experienced what it is like to have a learning disability and as a former student of the School, I know first-hand how much of an impact this School can have on a child’s life.”
We extend thanks to the local and national corporations and individual friends who came together to raise awareness of dyslexia and support the children and faculty of the School. Special thanks are due to Sporting Clays for Kids Board Members John Curtis Fisher, Rosalie Davis, Blake Dexter, Jackie Goldstone, Chad Knudsen, and Matt and Farley Sirockman.
River Float for Dyslexia
The fifth annual River Float for Dyslexia was, once again, a tremendous success! Founded in 2012 by parents Bilijack Bell and Scott Pennington, this summer tradition has grown and involves many parents, alumni, and friends of The Schenck School. The proceeds from the Float are used to support our “Day of Giving” in December. On that day, every class and grade level focus on Atlanta non-profits and the students work together to make useful items for these organizations. At the assembly, the organizations come to the School, and the students present their projects to representatives of the organizaations. It’s a meaningful lesson in helping others in our community.

Why I Give to The Schenck School
ALUMNI FOCUS
Carson McElheney (‘92)I would not be who I am today without The Schenck School. Schenck gave me the confidence to think outside the box and validated my artistic strengths, which gave me direction and the focus that has shaped the rest of my life. Twenty-eight years later, I return to Schenck not only as an alumnus, but also as parent. My daughter begins first grade this fall. I look forward to reliving the experience as she embarks on her journey to Read, Rise, and Fly. I give to The Schenck School because of everything Schenck has given to me and the world that it is about to open for my daughter.
Carson and his wife, Susan Joy, live in Atlanta and are the parents of Mary Brooks and Carson. He received a degree in landscape architecture from the University of Georgia and is the owner of Carson McElheney Landscape Architecture & Design. Carson developed Sweetwater Wingshooting in Thomson, Georgia.
The Schenck School Changed My LifeZack Abend (’17)For half of my life, I was in the darkness, scared, and terrified of my differences. School was a nightmare for me. I tried and tried to look down at a book and read, but my mouth couldn’t pronounce the words. I treated my learning difference as a curse. I have dyslexia. Why am I so different? These words kept replaying in my head.
Everyday after school, I would go home and cry on my bed. The pillow was soaked in my own tears, I can’t read, I can’t spell, why am I so different? What’s wrong with me? An hour passed by, my eyes were blood red from my crying, salt from my tears burned my eyes. I didn’t know I had a gift at that time. For 10 years I kept beating myself up, tearing my heart, tearing my hope. I have dyslexia and ADHD. If someone would have just told me I had a gift, I wouldn’t have gone down this path.
At school everyone treated me differently. They laughed every time I read. Hearing my classmates laugh at me, hearing my friends laugh at me, tore my heart and my hope. It took away the hope that someday I’d be able to read. Every day at school I was bullied, not by the students, but by myself. I called myself stupid and dumb. I would say that I am worthless and a fool. Would I ever be able to read? Two years went by, and finally I could see the light. My best friend, Colin Shea, helped me throughout my life. He told me not to give up and not to let people ruin my dreams. My parents applied me to The Schenck School.
At the beginning, I hated the fact that I had to transfer schools. When I came to The Schenck School, my whole life changed. I could finally read and I could spell. This School was for kids like me who are dyslexic, plus some of them had ADHD just like I do. And at that moment, I knew I had a gift. I have dyslexia - the best thing ever. I am different from other students and finally feel proud of it. I’m like a phoenix - when they get old enough, they go into the sky and blow up. Then they are reborn from their ashes. Just like a phoenix, I was reborn into a new world.
Zack’s essay is in response to a sixth grade writing assignment to describe something he thought was bad in his life but in reality was good. Zack is a seventh grader at Woodward Academy.
