Lesson #4: Turn a Learning Disability into a Learning Opportunity
For the 30 years that Orfalea served as CEO of Kinko’s, his office would have been unrecognizable as such. He had no stacks of reports piling up in his desks. He had filing cabinets, but a quick peek inside would reveal no files. He had no computer and often times, not even a pen. Why? Because Orfalea suffered from both dyslexia and ADHD. He ran his company differently from most CEOs because he had no other choice.

Charles Schwabs Personal Life
The name Charles Robert Schwab may ring a bell. He is the founder and the CEO of the Charles Schwab Corporation and is famously known as a self-made man who is now worth over $6 billion.

Be A Student
The wonderful thing I am learning about “learning”, and I am hearing it from many different locations all at once, is simply this; When you truly enter into an attitude of learning, rather than one of thinking that you know it all, and you give yourself permission to be open to other people’s ideas and suggestions, the frequency of learning opportunities becomes infinite, and your potential of greater success becomes assured.
Children's fitness tax credit
Federally, a non-refundable tax credit is available to parents who incur costs associated with registering their child in a prescribed program of physical activity. The child whom the parent claims this expense for must be under the age of 16 at the beginning of the year or if eligible for the disability credit, under the age of 18. A parent is allowed to claim up to $500 of expenses per year, per child. For 2009, the tax credit is equal to 15% of the expense claimed. For children eligible for the disability credit, an additional $500 in expenses can be claimed if the total expenses are at least $100. You should receive or ask for a receipt from the organization that provides the prescribed activity.

Disturbing Trend in Michigan: Disability Claims Approved And Then Abruptly Taken Away Within a Year

That practice has been challenged by a lawsuit against insurance giant UnumProvident (Unum) charging that the insurance carrier devised a scheme to illegally deny or terminate the long-term disability claims of thousands of people in violation of ERISA.

ADA - a heart issue !!!
A few weeks ago I attended a series of seminars on ADA sponsored by the San Diego chapter of the American Institute of Architects. ADA stands for The American Disability Act Law implemented in 1990, prohibiting disability discrimination.

The Department of Justice adopted new standards for accessible design in September 2010 and these will go into effect March 15, 2012.
