MICHELLE WILDGOOSE
BAHAMAS
Bahamas Wisdom Developmental Center is a non-profit organization, established to evaluate any individual and was born out of a need for desperate help for my son Mikhail who is the inspiration for such an institution to be established in our nation.
Mikhail Robert Wildgoose was born November 4, 1996. He was a beautiful baby boy and his pediatrician announced that all was well with his development.
At the age of four years of age, an Educational Psychologist who was unable to label him at that time evaluated Mikhail. He was apparently one in some areas, two in another, three and four in other areas. The recommendation at that time was to enroll him in a pre-school with an aide.
In one morning, I went to nine different pre-school requesting them to take my son with an aide and all said "NO". I turned to the internet to find home schooling and found the National Association for Child Development (NACD) www.nacd.org and sought their help for my son. NACD’s procedure and philosophy got me started on a road to help in the overall development of my son (see testimonials for full story).
Out of Bahamas Wisdom Developmental Center came BAHAMAS WISDOM ACADEMY, a school established to assist any child to fulfill their hidden potential.

MIRIAM
KUWAIT
My name is Mariam and I live in Kuwait. I was born and raised up in Lebanon. I graduated from Lebanese University of Beirut, holding B.A in English Language and Literature and from K.G. Center where I studied Child Education from 0-2. I was a volunteer for many years working with children from poor families, children with learning disabilities, juveniles, and elders who lived by themselves and no one was looking after them. In Lebanon, I taught in a center for special needs working with students with physical disabilities and mild MR. I enjoyed watching the growth my students gained. I worked for another year in Lebanon with students with ADD/ADHD and physically disabled in an inclusion delivery service. I had a resource room and was working in the regular classes with the students as well. Afterwards, I traveled to Kuwait and started to work with Learning Disabilities including ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, and mild autistic. I like my work in Kuwait and I like exchanging experience with different teachers. It was my dream to work on my Masters Degree in special education and the University of Phoenix is the good choice I made in my life. I am still in the process to finishing the Masters Degree. I believe of the knowledge and experience throughout the journey even before reaching the end. Contact Mariam at Lour@email.uophx.edu
