I enrolled my son in DII services in late summer. He is 8 years old and reads at a 2nd grade level. He has blossom in 2 months. He loves books for the first time in years. I catch all the time trying to read anything he can get his hands on.
I have informed my co-workers about DII services and I told them that this would be a great way to donate for the state campaign.
