Named NCAPD Teen Volunteer of the Year

Named 2011/2012/2013 NCAPD Teen Volunteer of the year in January. This award was given because of my work with parents and teachers across the United States (even heard from a person from Turkey) answering questions from a teens perspective on Auditory Processing Disorder. This work makes me feel good helping parents by giving them hope and ideas they can do to help their kids fulfill their dreams.

Megan worked with Minnesota's former Governor Tim Pawlenty to make April 4th a state-wide Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) Awareness Day. Megan wants to get her message out that APD is a learning disability and needs to be recognized within the school systems. The earlier a child receives intervention for this disability, the more sucessful that child will be later in life. The Minnesota Sun Newspaper had a write up about Megan.

Worked with former Governor Tim Pawlenty to set aside the whole month of October as "Auditory Processing Awareness Month.
