The gifts of Dyslexia. Heather Redenbach.

The best presentation for people with Dyslexia is based on visual and verbal.

They dont lack intellect.  15% of all the population have this blessing.

Dyslexia is a way of thought.   It produces slow readers.  The working memory is slow to recognise words.  Each word has to be read anew so this is a slow process and hard work.

Often students fell like an Alien, that they dont fit in with groups.  Some end up in jail or just drop out of society.

Reading, writing, spelling and overal organisation are often poor.    They can become better at reading with practice.

They have no memory of past words.  We keep pictures in our mind of words and recognise them when we see them.  Dyslexics dont. They are reading from the front of the brain.  All the time.

They often have enhanced visual perception and can learn with pictures.  They often have greater appreciation of colour and texture.

They are not good at regurgitant information like mathematical times tables.  Rote memories.  They can recall memories of times if they have a connection to the event.

They often have great people skills and many are entrepreneurial.

They have a tendency not to follow the rules. They often end up changing the world.

Still today we dont have enough knowledge of Dyslexia.
