Dyslexia is neurobiological in origin, meaning we have differences in our brain structure and function, which typically affects phonological processing, which is just a fancy way of saying our brains are ‘wired’ differently to what is considered ‘normal’ and this can lead to difficulties with reading and spelling.
It didn’t come about because we didn’t try hard enough.
It didn’t happen because we weren’t read to enough as a child.
And, it definitely didn’t come about because we weren’t smart enough!
Dyslexia is NO one’s fault!
We just have a different and unique way of thinking.
In fact it helps us to problem-solve in ways that others might not think of, so you could almost say our thinking is dystinct!
So be proud to be dyslexic, because after all, how will the world’s problems and challenges be solved if we all think alike!

Quote: Philip Schultz

Too many dyslexic children have to work extra hard, showing grit , resiliency and self-advocacy skills to survive school systems which do not have high quality literacy and numeracy instruction.

Imagine a future where every student with learning differences can attend schools with educators who are trained to understand, value, support, nurture and fully educate them.

Too many educators do not know how to teach literacy and numeracy, let alone dyslexic students.

The burden on the dyslexic students has been very intense to help support the portion of educators who have not done their own studying to stay up-to-date about learning differences.
