for Gifted students and those working with them to understand what it means to be Gifted and AD/HD.

"Special Education / Resource Room Program”
Ellen G. Schaumberg, BA, MA
Middle School Special Education Teacher
Plymouth-Canton Community Schools
Public School Resource Room
Programs: How they work in some elementary, MIDDLE, and high schools; how parents
and students can make the best use of Resource Room facilities and teachers; how to get the MOST for your child from the “system”.
Ellie Schaumberg has been teaching in and around the Midwest for more than
thirty years. Her past ten years have been as a Resource
Room/Co-Teacher at East Middle
School in the Plymouth-Canton Community School
District, and she has been very effective
teaching one of the few middle school intense reading programs based on Orton-Gillingham in the
area.
Mrs. Schaumberg received her Master’s
Degree in Elementary Education at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor
and her LD certification at Eastern Michigan
University. While she always
sought out those students who were “not making it” in the general education classroom,
she discovered her own learning disabilities along the way. Although not AD(H)D herself, Mrs. Schaumberg freely shares her own LD stories with her students.
She says that she has been
triply blessed with a dentist husband with LD who, at 57, is only active now instead of his former ADHD. Their older daughter, also a dentist with LD and the combined form of ADHD, has just recently completed
her intense training as an oral maxillo-facial surgeon. Their younger daughter
carries on the family tradition of LD and ADD (without hyperactivity but with disorganization, memory dysfunction, and the
like) completed her post graduate Master’s of Philosophy degree at Christie’s of London (University of Glasgow)
in the Acquisition and Appraisal of Pre-Renaissance Antiquities. We’re
not supposed to ask how long it took these young ladies to complete their education!
She considers all of this domestic chaos a blessing because, besides making her a more compassionate and experienced
teacher, she truly understands that it is because of the LD and AD(H)D children and adults in our world that we have any creativity
or invention at all. “What a dull world we would live in if no one thought
outside of the box. Some of these kids don’t even know the BOX EXISTS!”
The message that Ellie Schaumberg
brings to parents and students is a positive one: hope and encouragement. There
is nothing that you and your children can’t accomplish if you want it badly enough to work hard for the goal, and there
is no one more important in your child’s life than you – the parent(s).
If YOU believe he/she can “make it”, AND the goal is something that the child also wants, you can’t
miss! You are your child’s BEST RESOURCE!
