1. Have your say
I would love to hear your experiences about how you as a dyslexic
individual have coped either at school or in the workplace.
Do those you come into contact with know that you're dyslexic?
Do others treat your difficulties with respect or do you feel
they see you as someone who has 'problems'?
2. Teachers
Children love to play games and can learn more through
the process than any other method.
3. Parent Power
As a parent do you realise that you could be holding
the key to your child's academic success?
4. Employers
All companies should be in the business of making
the most of their employees and bringing out the best in everyone.

1. Theory of multiple intelligences
Whilst many educational practitioners apply this theory in
finding ways to teach children who find it difficult to learn,
the theory also has implications for adult learning and development.
2. What is intelligence?
There are many and various definitions of intelligence and
this debate is set to divide professionals as there is still
much controversy about its definition.
3. How intelligent is your child?
Most parents rely upon the evidence of how well their child
performs at school. With a dyslexic child this can prove to
be both disappointing and frustrating. |

1. Identifying Dyslexia
Dyslexia is a complex condition to diagnose. Through research
and new technology we now know that dyslexia is a difference
in the neuro-pathways in the brain.
2. The Role of the Parent
The first thing a parent is faced with is the fact
that their child is failing to acquire new skills at the same
pace as either their siblings or peers.
3. Employers
Supporting a dyslexic employee need not be as daunting
as you might expect. |

1. Dyslexia in the workplace
Statistics published by the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Centre demonstrate
that dyslexia amongst undergraduates is being diagnosed at an
ever increasing rate.
2. Visual Spatial Thinkers
Visual spatial thinkers are some of the most highly
gifted individuals. They generally achieve phenomenal scores
in IQ tests with their amazing ability to solve problems presented
visually.
3. More girls gain learning support
In my experience I have observed how girls are far
more open than boys to accepting the help of a specialist
dyslexia teacher. Boys on the other hand are happier accepting
assistive technology to overcome their difficulties. |
