What Is Dyslexia?

Dyslexia is a learning disability that people are born with. This language processing disorder can hinder reading, writing, spelling, and sometimes even speaking. Dr. Horowitz talks about dyslexia and its impact on individuals with LD.

The National Center for Learning Disabilities' (NCLD) mission is to ensure success for all individuals with learning disabilities in school, at work and in life.

NCLD has developed the LD Checklist: Recognize & Respond tool to help spot the potential signs of LD. Take the first step here: ncld.co/LDRR. #Check4LD

When I was diagnosed with both mild dyslexia and ADHD one of the biggest misconceptions I had as a kid was that it is a temporary thing it will go away when I will take medicines but later on I realised it stays with you I had lot of difficulties but one of the big problem was maths of course and I would be good at giving answer orally but I found it hard to string my words together in writing and while asking questions in simplest manner possible till now also when I try to write fast my handwriting turns out like a doctor's prescription. But I'm over most of the traits and I feel more vocal and proud about me having dyslexia

In Europe, Australia and America it is called Dyslexia while In Asia my parents would just call me stupid.

There should be tests in schools, I have trouble reading and writing, my sisters picked on me calling me stupid and dum all the time, I would go in my room and cry, and think to myself, why can't I be like them, I'm the second oldest of But I'm the only who found it hard, even in secondary school....thanks for auto correct it helps sometimes to write a word!! Lol...

If you really want an insight into Dyslexia, find and read the book "The Gift of Dyslexia".
Its not a disability but rather a different way of thinking, if it was a disability, it seems strange that most of the greatest minds the world has seen were dyslexic (Leonardo Di Vinci, Albert Einstein to mention just 2). If you are dyslexic, be proud as you have abilities that not dyslexic people don't.

I think in every country in the world should have assisted technology for adult people with dyslexia help read and write mandatory. In school, All kind of libraries, courthouses, State House, government buildings, trade schools, organizations that help you find jobs, Banks, credit union colleges. I believe we got far in with helping dyslexia people but not enough for the adults that's dealing with it everyday.

They can tell you word for word what the teacher says all day. They are very very smart. They have auditory processing problems.

if you are in the states, I know in CA but, I think in other states too, community colleges will do testing if you are taking a class or classes there. It could even be like PE. lol

Why do all the therapist and intellectualist's have to use unconnected facts lists!? I can remember logically arranged lists not "trivia pursue" facts that do not follow in logical profession. It like taking a bunch of playing and scattering them face up on the table and then asked to find a pattern! Rediculous. I just noticed this as a favorite format in textbooks.
