Dyslexia Simulation
This dyslexia simulation can provide us with some insight into what it’s like to be dyslexic. At the very least, it should create some empathy for the dyslexic and their experience. This dyslexia simulation is not what dyslexics actually see; however, it simulates difficulties in phonological awareness, which is considered one of the essential features of dyslexia. As a dyslexic myself, it is also important to me to tell people about the mental health side of dyslexia.
Here’s some of the literature I consulted to create this video:
- Betz, D. and H. Breuninger (1993). Teufelskreis Lernstörungen : theoretische Grundlegung und Standardprogramm. Weinheim, Psychologie-Verl.-Union.
