Did you know this about dyslexia:

That Dyslexia is the most common learning disability (well, I dislike that word, as it’s really a learning difference) and 70 – 80 % of children in Special Ed are dyslexic?

…..Yet I still have to find a Special Ed unit that teaches dyslexics in the way they learn best, instead of trying to correct their phonic difficulties.

That the dyslexic brain is larger and more creative than the average brain?

…..yet the fact that they process language using the right side of the brain – while non-dyslexic readers use the left side of the brain – doesn’t seem to warrant a different way of teaching them to read, just more hard work and repetition.

That 11 % of the population is left-handed and the majority of them are dyslexic?

……yet I have still found that far more than 50 % of my dyslexic clients are right-handed.

That a Yale study has found that the ratio between dyslexia in boys and girls is roughly 50/50?

…..yet in Autism there are more boys than girls affected.
