So what is this thing called dyslexia anyway. My mom has it so I have heard a lot about it over the years but, like most people, I just thought it was a reading problem where the person saw letters backwards. Actually, dyslexia is a processing issue and neurological in nature. So, my boys' brains are wired a little differently, but once we get the information in their little brains, it sticks. Fortunately, the school my boys attend has a great slogan to help students and others understand how successful people with dyslexia can be and that slogan is "where dyslexia becomes a learning difference not a learning disability". What a great way to think about it!
The International Dyslexia Association has some great facts sheets about dsylexia. Oh the things we are learning about dyslexia!!!!
