Relationships can cause us huge stress or bring us great joy, and dyslexia does have an effect. One of the biggest areas of challenge for us is communication. Here are some of my thoughts, based on my own experiences:
Vanessa Victor is a licensed Davis Facilitator in Auckland, News Zealand. She discovered her own dyslexia as an adult, and has made a series of videos called "My Dyslexic Life" exploring her own journey and the ways in which dyslexia has impacted many parts of her life.
Frustration. Irritation. Tears. And not just your child’s. Learning difficulties affect the whole family– especially the dedicated parents who are trying so hard to help.
Explaining dyslexia is often done by focusing only on the dyslexic person. But understanding the role of the social environment is important because it makes us realize that we are not the problem.
Sam is nearly thirteen, and despite having been in an intensive, structured literacy programme twice a week for over six years, he only had 10-15 sight words. I was desperate and couldn’t think how to help him.
When something is backed by science, it implies “proof“. There are various ways this is done but in the areas of social science, evidence-based methods are used .and hence the term “Science of Reading” has emerged.
