Who Are You, Fred?
by Eileen Maloney Ryan
Dr. Eileen Ryan has taught in a variety of educational environments from the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in northern Montana to the urban and suburban schools of Chicago. Dr. Ryan’s incentive to obtain a master’s degree in early childhood was initially inspired by the development of her five children. She continues to be inspired by the growth of her grandchildren.
Developing resource programs at three private high schools motivated Dr. Ryan to pursue a PhD in special education from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Throughout her career she also taught graduate and undergraduate level courses and provided professional development in special education to a variety of schools.
Dr. Ryan’s quick wit and wisdom are greatly admired, and she is known for making the best fudge every Christmas. Her husband, children, and grandchildren will testify under oath that it is the best fudge.
Who Are You, Fred?
As Fred navigates four years of high school—confronting bullies, struggling with homework and tests, losing his shoes, and trying to answer the question, Who are you, Fred?—readers will gain an understanding about the complexities of learning disabilities.
