What Is
Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a difference in
which the brain works.
There are many types of
dyslexia it is very hard to say how many different
types.
From research it is almost
known that there are 30 different types.
Many adults will have
dyslexia, but it may be so mild that they will never find
out.
More and more is being found
out every day about all types of learning
skills
The word Dyslexia was first
coined as far back as 1887. It was said by Rudolf Berlin from
Germany.
At that time Dyslexia was
coined because of a person's inability to
read.
People with dyslexia are all
to various degrees different, no two people with a learning difference will be the same
Dyslexia effects all people
with it in different ways, some may have difficulty with maths some
with spelling some with all.
As I said before no two
people are the same.
Each person with a learning difference will have a different way of
coping.
Adults are very hard to
identify because they have learned to hide there problem and some
will never know they have a difficulty.
Dyslexia is a person's
ability to think three things at once so therefore they have to learn
to shut it off
To explain it a bit more if a
tutor is talking in college a person with a learning difference (dyslexia)
does not have the ability to take down notes and watch what the tutor
is doing and listen at the same time.
Some people with dyslexia are
only effected this way, as I said before no two people are the same.
Every person will find what
is best for him or her to reach his or her goal in
life.
People with a learning difference are not stupid,
It is not caused by any
medical condition from findings it is known that it is genetic and
you are born with it.
