UK governments need to invest in training teachers, and those who train them, in understanding the problems dyslexics confront every day of their lives.

As a child, if you are told by adults that you are stupid, slow, lazy, not trying, a failure, etc and this poison is not counteracted, you will believe you are exactly what they say you are. It effects every area of your life (dyslexia and a scewed perception of your abilities). Sadly, in this day and age, there are children still walking around dealing with this that have not been diagnosed yet. Putting the word out anout dyslexia and other learning disabilities will bring anout change in the lives of some of the most vonerable children in the school system, which can only be a good thing! I'm still struggling with dyslexia, but having a support system of people willing to help (bless my husband who has to edit all my writing before anyone else can see it) make me feel like I can succeed. Even just the fact that people now understand that I REALLY AM TRYING is worth more than gold. Thank you, Nicola, for all you do!!Stephanie McGregorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02645166501767750140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-70493554280435600322012-11-07T09:10:25.770+00:002012-11-07T09:10:25.770+00:00I won't list all the things I have problems wi...I won't list all the things I have problems with - but I will say I sympathise madly!catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-24815717329213993102012-11-07T08:26:31.174+00:002012-11-07T08:26:31.174+00:00A very interesting post - thanks for sharing your ...A very interesting post - thanks for sharing your experiences.Lynne Garnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697330164705623835noreply@blogger.com
