Style Magazine - August 2023
Wondering where you should take your friends this summer? All the places mentioned in this month’s feature, “Wine Time!” are a “grape” place to start. Turn to page 54 for tasteful tasting rooms, vineyards with a view, spots where you can sip while also savoring a meal, and more. My out-of-town guests were beyond impressed with the amazing vino (particularly the petite sirahs and bold barberas), state-of-the-art spaces, and stunning scenery. Need something else to show your forever friends? All the farm-to-fork flavors found ’round town on almost every menu. From cocktails made with just-picked peaches to pizza topped with slow-roasted sweet corn and cherry tomatoes, we were hard-pressed to find a meal made without something locally grown—and even checked out a farmers’ market (for a list of regional ones, flip to page 86). But the most exciting (and my personal favorite) expedition was exploring a handful of farm-to-bottle breweries—places that grow their ingredients (hops, honey, mandarins, and more) on-site. Check out “Good Beer Hunting” (page 84) for a roundup of where to find these hidden, home-grown gems—with recommendations on what to try.

The ABCs of<br />
Learning Difficulties<br />
by MELISSA STRAND<br />
When you suspect your child has<br />
a learning difficulty, it can feel<br />
overwhelming. Luckily, local experts have<br />
some actionable advice to help families<br />
spot the early signs, ensuring children are<br />
properly diagnosed and receive sufficient<br />
support to set them up for success.<br />
EARLY INTERVENTION IS KEY<br />
If a child receives help for their specific<br />
needs early in life, the chances for<br />
learning and progress will be greater,<br />
says Jennifer Stockslager, licensed<br />
educational psychologist and owner<br />
of Developing Minds Psychology<br />
(developingmindspsychology.com).<br />
"Parents know their children the best, so<br />
as soon as you suspect difficulties, speak<br />
with their pediatrician and teachers.<br />
Some children may need short-term<br />
intervention and others may need more<br />
intensive long-term support.”<br />
Also, don’t underestimate the timing<br />
and effort it takes to see the progress<br />
in early interventions. Natalie Powell,<br />
certified dyslexia specialist, educational<br />
therapist, and owner of Natalie LP<br />
Therapy (natalielptherapy.com), says:<br />
“Early intervention providers focus<br />
on strengthening the weak processing<br />
areas that cause academic or functional<br />
difficulty. Therapy activities often appear<br />
simple, but don’t be fooled; new brain<br />
pathways are being built and that’s hard<br />
work.” Give your child grace, compassion,<br />
and time to grow at their pace during<br />
this process.<br />
