Dyslexia Awareness Part 1: Module 3 - Dyslexic Challenges

Dyslexia Awareness Part 1: Dyslexic Challenges - Celebrities including Sir Richard Branson, Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom and Maggie Aderin-Pocock-Pocock join expert teachers from two world leading dyslexia schools to share their wisdom and expertise in these inspirational Dyslexia Awareness Training films produced by Made By Dyslexia. Millfield School UK and Schenck School USA are both pioneers in the field of dyslexia and the first schools in their respective countries to successfully support dyslexic students and focus on dyslexic strengths. These films have been incorporated into 5 Dyslexia Awareness Training modules designed to help teachers, educators and parents understand dyslexia, both its strengths and challenges, gain essential knowledge in how to recognise and support it, and create a dyslexia inclusive classroom.

I wish we changed or add the laws in America so all the adults with dyslexia would get assistive technology help in every day life with reading and writing. We should the future for kids and adults alike.

I'm in my 60s and I see that you are all still trying to bring the dyslexics into your way of thinking, not going to happen. my brain was hard wired for mechanical things, still to this day when I look at a thing I see it in a 3 dimensional schematic. that can be exploded, rotated, parts removed or altered, and placed back together in my head. and yes I have dyslexia its strange I still have great difficulty reading, but I can design something in my head then build it but really cant read. even this amount of text has taken me about 65mins to wright and several computer spell checking's. school was extremely frustrating to myself, in parting something I asked a grade 9 English teacher. was if I put a gas engine in front of you with a seized piston could you repair it. of course she said no then I reapplied well I can in my sleep, the feeling of hopelessness that you have looking at the engine is the same feeling of hopelessness that I have looking at the written word. this conversation with her after she had called me a functioning idiot because my reading skills where so bad. and yes I walked out of the school at that point, something to learn about dyslexic brains we see the world differently we are not going to see it like you so please learn what motivates and is important to that individual. then adapt your teaching to their needs, dyslexics are far from stupid we just se the world differently. if we where stupid there wouldn't be an large amount of use at "MIT".

I wish when teachers would notice a problem they would investigate. Just ask a few key questions.

Phonetics confused the ever-living daylights out of me in school. I did learn by memorization on my own. I also learn to read by the look of the entire word. For example, if there's a short story done with letters and numbers I can read that easily. Even though many letters are missing and numbers are used instead . A word can have letters and numbers and I understand the word. In my situation phonetics was a nightmare . Memorization was key to my learning. I also am left-handed so I had to adopt two things in a right-handed world. I consider both of these situations to be adventitious .

[gordonthomasanderson]

91% say their school need better understand and recognition of dyslexia strengths.

[lancecarrmusic]

"...rote memorization is not how a dyslexic mind works..." wow!

What I want to know is how can universities change the way they expect assessments to be completed for bachelor's degrees, to measure acceptable levels of knowledge? As an adult who has attempted university many times and struggle to complete a degree, I find the research and essay writing utterly exhausting. I do well, scoring distinctions and high distinctions, but the process burns me out, making sustainable study to complete a degree feel painful and nigh impossible.

[sonjaheinrich]

wonderful information, but please consider the easier reading approach of spell reading, which is very visual and outspeeds any phonic approach for reading teaching and does not force the dyslexic to use forceful concentration to succeed! Multisensory is great though!

[debbiemcwilliams]

My 11year old got diagnosed end of June this year and I'm still waiting for the school to put his help in place 🤨

[karenking]

Hi I am karen the kid know as strange because my brain is misunderstood makes me understand my brain more thank you so much for the video where I live teachers aren’t really aware of that I have never heard of a kid ever in my school who has this problem I’ve never noticed a kid and I can assist in struggling with my cousin and dyslexia or not biologically related though because I’m adopted like she has the same problems I do and I can recognize that the teachers don’t know what it is I don’t have this problem and my cousin was never tested but I think she has dyslexia and she’s training to become a nurse

[helenmaclachlan]

I agree. My Teachers was mean to me. The understand dyslexia. They Refuse my test never be tested. The put in Special ed with techer was mean. Uneducated about dyslexia. They ignored my issue

[gordonthomasanderson]

Teacher need trying about dyslexia to hlep with in the classroom . The students need hlep the most in live and the future and is that true. and I am right about it to as well.

[kirstyhepworth]

I struggle with my writing and reading to but I have a reading strip that I use to read.

[gordonthomasanderson]

Dyslexia is still a have issue today 20% of the of pollution has dyslexia and over 50% of prison inmates are dyslexia. There is no. legal requirement for school to have any dyslexia specialist teacher.

[judithwanjiku]

my son is dyslexic, but no school for such cases, leaving me with no option

[staciepedginski]

When dyslexics finally get reading, 5th or 6th grade, I don’t bother with reading punctuation or the phenoms, none of this matters for me to understand the writers point. Short stories are a pain. I have to have time, distanced to get the pattern of each writer, I begin to predict where they will go.

[PETE]

When I was a kid I was told I was thick but it was because I was dyslexic 30 years later why do kids get all the support and there is nothing for adults
