Two of my sons are dyslexic. After I showed my eldest saw the presentation by Isley he took it into school, stood up in front of his classmates and shared how he felt bad when they laughed at him because of being dyslexic. He then showed the presentation to his class and a great discussion ensued about how people have different talents. I’m an addictions therapist and I wrote recently on my Facebook page about addiction and dyslexia. I think that the (unwarranted) shame that kids pick up during their school years because of being dyslexic is a big driver that leads some to seek out medicating their difficult feelings through substance or process addiction. I love the idea of 7 different intelligences and that dyslexic kids have intelligences in different areas than those tested in academic exams. I’m not into the whole better than/worse than idea about life, but I definitely think that dyslexics have an amazing plethora of talents which can and should be celebrated. Thank you for this, if there is anyway that I can be involved in a practical/professional capacity I would be delighted!
