Is My Child Dyslexic?
Individuals with dyslexia have trouble with reading, writing, spelling and/or math even though they have the ability and have had opportunities to learn. Individuals with dyslexia can learn, but they often need specialized instruction to overcome the problem. Often these individuals, who have talented and productive minds, are said to have a language learning difference.

Even though mother's issues are not front page news,
they touch us all personally, some more than others, and I believe passionately in the power of grassroots engagement.
– Joan Blades "Science had moved forward at a rapid pace so that we now possess the data to reliably define dyslexia... For the student, the knowledge that he is dyslexic is empowering... [It provides him] with the self-understanding and self-awareness of what he has and what he needs to do in order to succeed."
- Sally Shaywitz, M.D., Co-director of Yale Center for Dyslexia nad Creativity |
If children can’t learn the way we teach,
then we have to teach the way they learn.
– Robert Buck In dyslexia, there's not a knowledge gap but rather an action gap.
