The Orton-Gillingham Academy's statement regarding comments about dyslexia

A statement from OGA:

We stand with the International Dyslexia Association, dyslexia is a super power!

The International Dyslexia Association (IDA) affirmed today that dyslexia, a reading disability, is entirely unrelated to a person's intelligence or cognitive potential. Dyslexic individuals possess the capacity to think, lead, and achieve at the highest levels, and countless have gone on to accomplish extraordinary achievements across every field.

IDA stands firmly in support of dyslexic learners by advancing evidence-based reading instruction grounded in the science of reading, while also championing the unique strengths, resilience, and potential that define this community.

Interrupting our Saint Patrick’s Day ☘️ celebrations for a little history lesson on some U.S. Presidents.

Did you know at least 7 U.S. Presidents are believed to
have had dyslexia?

Let that sink in.

Dyslexia is NOT a measure of intelligence.
Dyslexia is NOT a limitation.
Dyslexia does NOT disqualify leadership.

History already proved that.

According to historical accounts, these presidents showed traits consistent with dyslexia:

Thomas Jefferson – Struggled with reading and spelling early; became largely self-taught and authored the Declaration of Independence.

George Washington – Had significant difficulty with spelling and grammar but led the founding of a nation.

Andrew Jackson – Known for inconsistent spelling and once said, “It is a damn poor mind that can think of only one way to spell a word.”

Woodrow Wilson – Could not read fluently until around age 10, yet went on to become president and a Nobel Prize winner.

Dwight D. Eisenhower – Overcame reading struggles to become a 5-star general and U.S. President.

John F. Kennedy – Faced reading challenges but became one of the most influential communicators in history.

Lyndon B. Johnson – Relied on summaries of written material, showing alternative ways of processing information.

Important: Dyslexia was not formally diagnosed in earlier centuries, but historians consistently note patterns of reading and writing struggles.

So let’s stop equating reading difficulty with intelligence.

Because these weren’t just successful people—they were Presidents.

And they led nations.
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
