Understanding Dyslexia
Dyslexia is not a disease that needs curing, it is another way of seeing the world. Dyslexia occurs when the brain processes information differently making it harder to translate language to thought (as in listening or reading) or thought to language (as in writing or speaking). Children with dyslexia can grow up to have successful careers, and often display special talents in areas that require high levels of visual, spatial, and motor integration. They can shine in the fields of art and design, sport, architecture, electronics, computing, theatre, cinema, music, law, hospitality management, and engineering among others. All they need is our understanding and a little help.
