News of Dyslexia Forum

Hi there.

I'll try and keep this short: basically, growing up I was always a little slower than the others in class. I remember specifically having problems with putting things in the correct order, and then I recall getting very anxious and not being able to follow steps very easily. When I look back, I remember feeling very confused and anxious in school as a kid. I was a bit slow with reading, and my ...

I can't think of a better title, since I've had these symptoms all my life but never diagnosed.

So I have had learning problems all my life, ones exactly like dyslexia. Describing the symptoms would basically be like reading out all the symptoms of dyslexia. As a kid I would write backwards, could barely read, had so many problems that many teachers would take my parents aside or school aids aside telling them upfront that ...

I am fairly certain my 9 year old son is dyslexic. He never really did well with reading, and finally when he was in 2nd grade, I asked the school to have him tested. He was falling behind, and I was concerned. They did all sorts of testing and had the school district's psychologist evaluate him as well. His IQ was extremely high and math scores were really high, but reading was EXTREMELY low. They ...

Hey guys,

A friend of mine has dyslexia and recently read 'the gift of dyslexia'. After reading the book he said "Its like a manual for my brain". I thought this was pretty interesting so i read it.

Even though i'm not dyslexic, WOW, that book just blew me away. The way it talks about controlling your dyslexia and seeing it as a positive thing is baffling. ...

Hi, I am new to this forum, but haven't found the topic that would be I think most interesting to all members. Can you share with other people with dyslexia what works best to ease the dyslexia problems? I.e what helped you with your school problems or anxiety or any other area related to dyslexia? I think others may benefit from your experience.

I can tell you what helped me. ...

Chevette describes her life journey from repeating 1st grade to self-contained Special Ed. Then on to college where she earns her Bachelor's Degree and eventually her Master's.

Today she is determined to make sure her dyslexic son does not have to go through the same struggles she did.

I tutor dyslexic students here in the USA and have a technique that is unique, to say the least. I'm looking for some explanations of why this simple intervention/accommodation works so well over and over again. This video is of my newest student:

I have a friend who I suspect has dyslexia. I'm not a doctor or clinical psychologist but after reading about various reading disorders I think dyslexia matches best. He cannot write and has a difficult time reading, often failing to correctly read even simple sentences in text messages. This is affecting him in that he cannot get a job that requires a personality test because he cannot read the questions sufficiently. Also people do not ...

I was very excited to find this forum almost 2 months ago, but I'm curious why people don't respond? Obviously, there are people viewing according to the view counter. Not only did I post a few things myself, but I also responded to a few of the topics already there.

Since February 8th not one response to any posts....
Why? :?:
