One in five students has a learning or attention challenge, and Idaho sixth grader Jacob is one of those students. 

Jacob has dyslexia and dysgraphia, which can make it hard for teachers to understand what Jacob needs to be successful in and out of the classroom.

 

Thankfully Jacob and his mom found the Lee Pesky Learning Center, and along with his teacher at the Center they’ve created a pathway for Jacob’s success.

 

Jacob, his mom Lisa, and his educational specialist from the center Aubrie Gribble join Idaho Matters to talk more.
