Above & Beyond Dyslexia

Too Many Schools Are Misdiagnosing Dyslexia Changing how dyslexia is diagnosed could help many more children learn to read

Dyslexia and Anxiety

Many students with dyslexia develop an anxiety disorder -- due to their academic struggles, public humiliation when forced to read out loud in class, and/or being teased or bullied by classmates.

Parents, watch for these warning signs of anxiety. If your child has many of them, you must take steps to reduce their anxiety.

Spelling

Copying a word 25 times will not teach someone with dyslexia how to spell.

It never has. It never will.

I think this should be displayed on the table at every IEP meeting.
