Pandemic Learning Story | Stacey Whomsley

Stacey Whomsley’s two sons, ages 9 and 10, are in the 3rd and 5th grades respectively. Both of them have learning challenges that have exacerbated their struggle with virtual learning.

Whomsley’s youngest son has a learning disability called speech apraxia that caused him to be mute until he was 4-years-old. For 18 months, he worked to become age-appropriate with his speech. Today, Whomsley said you would “never know” that he has a disability, “but it does affect his ability to learn, to read, to write.”
