Great information !!, Thanks 👍
Maria is a clever and fascinating lady....I look forward to reading the book. Maureen, Paris
I’m an adult with dysgraphia. I was diagnosed as a kid. This is, hands down (oops, pun lol) the best resource I’ve ever come across about dysgraphia! Thank you so much for making this video!
I don't know what these people are on about 😂 this was a great tutorial
Where can i get a copy of this book?
Thank you
It was such an honor to read to friends and neighbors in our very own neighborhood library. Thank you to all the staff and those attending.

This comment section is a literal family reunion.... we should start a "Children of the Cedar Choppers" gathering...
My great grandfather was a cedar chopper.... his nephew is Morris Bonnet, one of the ones you interviewed.... I'm so curious because you say these folks are all Scots-Irish, and growing up, I was told we were *German*, which is something Morris mentioned, but doing geological research I seem to be coming up with French-Italian lineages/Waldensian heritage... so I'm so incredibly excited to see if I can uncover how we got hooked up with this community, because you have us named in one of the clans- Maynard-Whitt-Bonnet, I believe.... this is all so fun and so fascinating! ♡
mate. how r u?, love it~you made great job. ;)
You can’t even see it
This says Senior living not long term....

Great video! Very informative!
I’ve read this book. My cousin Creg Roberts (son of Ronnie Roberts) gave it to me last summer when I visited Austin and my ancestors home land. Joseph Almer Roberts is my great grandpa. His wife Henrietta was a Freitag. Daughter of Frederick and Catherine Freitag. This is a good book I wish there had been more pictures of the family in the book though

bad
Too zoomed out to really grasp the concept

Thank you so much for this informative video. I teach in Texas but am pursuing a 1 year dyslexia certification through the University of Florida. I am working on paper regarding local policy and practice analysis, and I would love to reference some of the information you share especially the recent shifts in the handbook... Where did you find this information? Thank you for your help.
Hi Michele! Apologies for our delayed response. This program was presented by Robbi Cooper of Decoding Dyslexia Texas. If you go to their website and scroll down to the "Contact us" section, you can click on Robbi's name to send an email: www.ddtx.org/events-and-support.
I watched the video but it wasnt really helpful.
My old man was bornin a tent off in Cedar breaks where Lakeline Mall is currently and you’re right when you say they never left we never changed Either just the world around us did
My parents live in Johnson City. My dad is Jesse Allen and lived out there when he was a child.
This explains so much about what I've been dealing with since 1st grade, and I'm now a few years past grad school. Really appreciated the breakdown of the different types of dysgraphia, didn't know there were subtypes - it appears that I have a couple different ones, but it was never caught when I was young, my teachers and parents just thought I wasn't trying hard enough.
I grew up going to “the ranch” during the summers (70’s). The Baldwins and my parents were very good friends. I really enjoyed this historic look at the land, the house the cabin etc. we were not allowed in the cabin but I remember it. And the barn. I have a painting of a huge oak tree that sat behind the house near the garage. Thank you for ur deep dive into the history of what I only know as the Resaca Ranch!
That's awesome! I'm watching this now (May 2023) for that same reason. My parents worked with the Baldwins back in the early to mid-70s and I grew up hearing about the Resaca Ranch.
Way to go Dale!
Excellent! Thank you!
Is there a certain amount of disability by percentage you have.

1. Dial up the contrast. 2. Turn "and then" into "but" or "so". 3a. Take away the reasonable option. Hero has to choose between unacceptable options. 3b. Add a conflicting gain. Hero has to give up something to gain something. 4. Add a different kind of conflict. Internal, interpersonal, external. 5. Force the wizard to throw a punch. Make characters do something outside their expertise. 6. Use the 4 stages of competence. Unconscious incompetence (Act 1), conscious incompetence (Act 2a), conscious competence (Act 2b), unconscious competence (Act 3). 7. Jump before you're pushed. What would cause your character to deliberately bring that awful outcome onto himself? 8. Include a well-intentioned catastrophe. 9. Use "so very" to turn emotion into action. 10. Use "so very" to turn virtues into faults. 11. Let the worst thing happen.

There are a lot of inaccuracies in this presentation.
It was interesting to see that old map showing roads in the area. Would one of those be related to the bridge off the creek trail?
Hi! I’m not sure if you covered this in your video (sorry if you did), but I was wondering how you identify 2e kids? I’m 15, have adhd (also going to get tested for dyslexia) and very successful in school. My learning hardships had gone unnoticed because of this until I spoke up about my struggles and have always felt weird or different compared to my peers. Doing some research, twice exceptionality really seems to fit my situation, but I’m unsure who to ask about determining if I am actually 2e
could we have the link to the slides referred to by Dr Buckley? thanks
Hi there. Here you go! bit.ly/2KKaAft
Dad has Veteran Aid. He's been a resident of silvergaterr.com/ a senior living community in San Diego for almost 3 years. He wanted to remain independent as long as he possibly could and did not want to live with us. To say he is very happy there is an understatement. My sisters and I love the fact that he is in such a beautiful, safe, nurturing place. The staff is exceptional and everyone is so kind and helpful! Thank God for senior living communities!
Also, it bothered me that he insisted the US, while not the richest country in the world, is the most creative. Of course lots of great creations come out of the US - in sum, probably more than any other single country. But that's mainly a function of how big the US. It is the biggest of the developed countries. For the same reason, it is, in sum, the richest country too. Per capita, it's not. Per capita, there are many richer countries. Gray seems to acknowledge that. But also per capita, there are probably many more creative countries. He mentions Nobel Prize wins as a measure. Per capita, the US has only the 15th most Nobel Prize wins. This is important, it seems to me, because it points to the fact that the US's creativity suffers from its extreme inequality, relative to other developed countries. Many in the US cannot develop their creative potential, not least because of their poverty. This problem is a lot less severe in other developed countries, and in consequence they are probably, per capita, more creative.
Great lecture, I think. Ties in with a lot I've been hearing. I wonder about one point he made... that children are not much affected psychologically by wars and depressions - adults are, he says, but children aren't. Is that really true? Aren't children often very receptive to the tensions and anxieties in their environment, even if they couldn't express it? I'm thinking of the short documentary film Life Overtakes Me - about the young refugee children in Sweden who, seemingly picking up on fears of their parents and older siblings about being refused asylum, entered states of unending sleep.
Excellent presentation by Todd. I remember him from Boy Scout Troop 30. He had given my son Bahman Wadia a book on Eanes school History to read and also taken him for a photo shoot. He always had a smile on his face. His son Jason was a year Senior to my son. I would like to get in touch with him by email if possible. I am a member of the Westbank Community Library and will definitely vote for him to be on the Board of Trustees. K Wadia
Wonderful project!
Thank you for this very useful information!
It"s my family too. My great grandparents were Richard Ringstaff and Maggy Tarleton Ringstaff. Between Bull Creek and Four Points ( where 2222 intersects 620) there were many many Ringstaff and Tarleton households. And much of that prized land with all those big houses now was their cedar chopping territory. They lived without indoor plumbing or electricity right up into the 60s and then everything changed. Of course they got gyped selling many hundreds of acres of prime land for less than the price of one such mansion but that's how it goes isn't it? Some of my kin were travelling musicians playing for cedar chopper dances and such. I carried on that tradition by forming a country-rock band here in France where I live now. This guy is my cousin. Same roots, same grandparents, everything he says here is true for me too. www.texasescapes.com/MurrayMontgomeryLoneStarDiary/FamilyTreeRootsMadeOfCedar.htm And this is my group. kzread.info/dash/bejne/a6GV2betYLrQcrw.html Oh and there's another old cedar chopper cemetary. When I was a kid going there involved a trip through the woods on overgrown cowtrails that rarely saw any cars at all starting from Bee Caves road. Then years later when they built loop 360 it turned out to pass just west of the cemetary and the excavation even cut away part of the cemetary support and caused erosion. Eventually that land became valuable and they built a mall just beside the cemetary and the state paid for work to repair and restore the damage caused by the highway construction. It's called the Tarleton Cemetary and it's hidden in a little patch of woods right beside the Barton Creek mall. images.findagrave.com/photos/2011/323/CEM1990044_132184042397.jpg www.google.fr/maps/place/Tarleton+Cemetery,+TX-360+Loop,+Austin,+TX+78746,+%C3%89tats-Unis/@30.2591829,-97.8124441,233m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x865b4ae5e2255497:0xa946b5d5672c276b!8m2!3d30.2592921!4d-97.8124074?hl=fr I don't think there are any real cedar choppers left now but some of the spirit lives on in our clan-like family traditions.
Very cool!
My wife also thought this was cool. She is better at it than me.
This really helped me do one.
This is fun. Thanks.
Thanks for this and the others I'll be watching all
