It will tell them that we can learn to higher standards if we get what we need and if principals, teachers, parents, and students all work together. The I.D.E.A. will be especially helpful to teachers, and I know from my own experience how important that is. I held an inservice program on dyslexia for general education teachers, and I know what a terrific job teachers can do when they have the right tools. And now, I would like to introduce someone who is working hard to give us that opportunity. It is my great honor to introduce to you the President of the United States, Bill Clinton.

Teachers have generally been very cooperative, although sometimes I need to remind them about my disability and my needs. When I was in elementary school, before they knew what my disability was, the school personnel generally were not receptive.
