Dyslexia Awareness Part 2: Module 3 - Emotional Impact

Dyslexia Awareness Part 2: Module 3 - Emotional Impact
Celebrities including Sir Richard Branson, Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom and Maggie Aderin-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.

About Made By Dyslexia:

I am crying. I am so happy to hear adults say dyslexia made them stronger. I worry for my son’s future and self esteem more than anything. I want to help him any way I can.

Watching these videos as a 35 yr old, and I can tell you that teachers not realizing that kids with dyslexia need to be taught differently is the problem. Like damn it was hell.

What the woman is saying about “one negative comment can really have adverse affects on them for years and years to come” is so true. I’m almost a senior in college now and I still vividly remember my 7th grade English teacher yelling at me to read faster. Also, my 8th grade English teacher telling me that the essay I turned in couldn’t have been my writing, but was accusing me that my mom wrote it for me... because how could I, a dyslexic, write that well?!? I think about these comments till this day, but they negatively impacted me for so long in middle school and high school.

This video needs to be shown to teachers all over the planet ❤

I hope for the future that people with dyslexia are diagnosed more quickly because girls are not getting diagnosed quickly enough and I feel for them.

[kirstyhepworth]

I hope that the Education system starts to take notes because people with Dyslexia are great people too. And we were not Designed to measured at school.
But I do hope the government will give more funding to help schools because it will benefit and help schools support Dyslexic students too.

Thank you for these videos - We are a family of Dyslexics and I wish school would catch up with this way of thinking and stop crushing the kids confidence and potential.

[elspethfougere]

This is so beautiful, thank you so so so much! My inner child is very excited seeing all these people speaking so positively

[brynnman]

Thank you for helping people understand what it’s like to have dyslexia...my whole family has dyslexia and we have all struggled in life but we all understand our strengths. Keep up the good work. I appreciate it.

Oh, I love that (4:30) she says learning difference! The one thing I hated the most was when teachers would excuse themselves for not being able to teach me and just say “well, you have a learning disability”. Years later I would defend myself and tell the teacher that they themselves had the teaching disability. I got sent to the principal’s office for that. I didn’t care that I got in trouble for that. I demanded to be transferred into another classroom with a teacher that was more willing to listen and work with me.

I have friends and I had helped children with Dyslexia. . By helping the children with Dyslexic, I helped the children out by slowing the children to break down the words ( for an example I had taken pictures of words to help the sound out the syllables ). I like to thank all the actors that spoke out about Dyslexia . In my eyes, schools should have workshops like this so people should understand that Dyslexia is no laughing matter.

Finelly someone said it, I am personally hesitant to talk about my dyslexia as a burden. Of course it can be, but it is also a gift in many other ways. The hardest part about having it is the way people (especially teachers) treat you differently and talk down to you.

This is very meaningful. I remember as a child I am dyslexic. I’m still am as an adult it was really hard for me to keep up with education and I wanted to go to college\university but I was turning it down because my confidence of going for an educational area. It was just so scary but I’m so happy that the future generations are going to understand how important it is..

[regulastolz]

I have dislexia but my grandfather was very understanding. My Mum till these day she denays it .
In the 70s in Switzerland we got put into a special class, but these dose not helped very much.
In these days im stright forward, and tell my employer what is going on.

[brittanywinn]

[kirstyhepworth]

I used to get in trouble with my resource teacher, because I wouldn't stop writing all my numbers 1-100 all backwards. And at home my parents never accepted me for being dyslexic. Life has been very hard for me. I always thought I was in resource classes for being stupid. But I'm finally finding myself in my 30s.
