I am dyslexic
In our schools, there are still far too many children whose dyslexia or dyscalculia is not recognized. The children are seen as stupid, lazy, unwilling to learn, difficult, etc. Watch this wonderful video in which a young woman talks about her dyslexia. She used to think she was just too stupid until she discovered, at the age of 18, that she is dyslexic. This happens to many people! That’s why it’s so important that parents and teachers know the signs of dyslexia and take these signs seriously. A lot of people think dyslexia will just disappear. Well, it does not!
