Help With Dyslexia
More and more people are being diagnosed with Dyslexia nowadays.
So more and more people are looking for information, help and advice on how to deal with this learning difficulty.
I was diagnosed with Dyslexia when I was very young and like many I was labelled a failure before I had even made it to secondary school.
However now I am just about to start training to become an airline pilot.
A life long dream that I am about to realise.
It is very important to remember that people with learning difficulties are not are NOT thick, dumb or lack intelligence.
We are very clever people.
Some very successful people are Dyslexic such as Richard Branson, Thomas Edison and Leonardo Da Vinci.
In my opinion 90% of teachers do not know enough about dyslexia.
They label children that may be disruptive, don't do there homework and struggle in class as trouble makers and say that they are not trying hard enough.
Teachers will come across students showing these problems.
However they will still focus the majority of their attention on the students that are already doing well in school.
This then means that the children that may have learning difficulties fall further behind when they should be the ones receiving more attention in class.
As you can probably tell I feel very strongly about this as this is very similar to what happened to me.
So please if you are a teacher research dyslexia as much as you can.
You can make a huge difference in the education of students with learning difficulties.
To help people find out as much information about Dyslexia and learning difficulties I have set up a website/blog.
It is full of useful information, advice, recourses, links to other dyslexia sites and much more.
If you have ever wondered what it is like for someone with dyslexia to read then there is a very accurate video here.
