“How to understand your resident dyslexic………………..(partner/manager/worker/child) Please insert as appropriate!”
Most people think that *dyslexia is just about reading and writing. It’s not. For the dyslexic person it’s about living the best way you can in a world keyed up for the 90% who process information very differently. For the other 10% of the population this can lead to all sorts of misunderstandings not only in personal relationships but also in the work environment.
Do you have dyslexic people working for you? Do you live with someone who is dyslexic? Are you dyslexic and want to make the best of your relationships, work, rest and play? This talk is about the rocky, revealing and very fulfilling road to really understanding what it is to be dyslexic; why there are sometimes emotional repercussions and what you can do about it.
*We use the term ‘Dyslexia’ because it is the most common of all Sp.L.D.s. What we do is largely applicable to all the other neuro-diverse conditions known to be related such as Dyscalculia, A.D.H.D., A.D.D., Autism Level 1 (Asperger’s Syndrome), Dyspraxia and Dysgraphia. Many of these conditions can overlap and often coexist.
