The author of this series, Anthony G. Wedgeworth, grew up with learning disabilities and was frequently placed in special classes while being told he was either lazy or stupid. In high school it was discovered that he had severe dyslexia, but the school systems didn't know how to teach students with such issues. Fighting this challenge, Anthony went on to become an Industrial Engineering Manager, VP of Engineering, and President of various companies. He has owned his own companies and is currently part owner and President of a large Wisconsin based Personal Care company specializing in providing services to Developmentally Disabled, Frail/Elderly/Dementia, brain trauma individuals, and many more who have special needs.
