Jacquelyn was diagnosed with dyslexia at age nine and dyscalculia at 14, making her school experience challenging and, at times, traumatic. Like many in the learning disability community, she faced skepticism from educators who doubted her need for accommodations because of her strong academic performance. The most difficult moment came during her sophomore year when she was found ineligible for an individualized education plan, despite relying on one since third grade. Losing it left her feeling angry and lost, but her family filed a complaint with outside help and it was ultimately reinstated.
