Life is full of complexities:  what to eat, what to wear, where to go, who to see, how to pay bills, how to meet a deadline, etc.  These are typical questions, but for people with LD or dyslexia, they are even more complicated because of an invisible disability.  Things that may seem relatively straightforward suddenly become a complicated maze for some folks with neurological processing problems, such as:  prioritizing events, organizing paperwork, making decisions, following directions, or multi-tasking.  If that sounds like you, here's your Podcast!  It's jammed with tips and ideas to help simplify and enjoy your life one task at a time and one day at a time.

Nothing can be more confusing or frustrating than making choices.  Part of being a successful adult, either with or without disabilities, is finding two new doors and then figuring out which one to go through.  Will the left door open to your dream job or just be more of the same?  Will the right door show you new friendships or a way to meet your significant other?  Which one brings the most potential with the least problems?  It's these choices--whether big or small--that change the fabric of your life.  And they all ultimately depend on making decisions about what is the best for you.  Or, making your best match.  This is such an important skill that I've devoted a whole podcast to it + this blog is crammed with lots and lots of great resources.  So open one door and let's see what happens.......
