The Invisible Gift ’s Post

Dyslexia affects around 9-12% of the population. According to the Department for Education, out of 8.7 million school children in England, around 870,000 of them have dyslexia but fewer than 150,000 are diagnosed. I was diagnosed with dyslexia at the end of year 6, so I had gone through the whole of primary school not knowing, but being expected to learn in the same way as everyone else. It was only until my Teacher noticed the difficulty I had with learning phonics and reading that pushed my parents to get me a dyslexia screening, which resulted in my diagnosis. After being diagnosed, my learning experience became so much clearer, being given the correct equipment enabled me to learn in a way that made sense to me. Early identification of dyslexia is essential to student’s learning, not only so they learn to read, and understand why reading is hard for them. But also so that these social and emotional difficulties can be mitigated. I want to reinforce the view that early identification is so important, not just this week but all year round. The difference it made to me, and so many others really is invaluable. #DyslexiaAwarenessWeek #CelebrateDifferences

For dyslexic children, what begins as an educational problem can quickly descend into an emotional problem. Learn more about dyslexia’s emotional impact in this blog post. https://lnkd.in/g_YTw5K5

This week is Dyslexia Awareness Week. It is believed that around ten percent of the population are dyslexic, but it is still often poorly understood. Dyslexia is a neurological difference and can have a significant impact during education, in the workplace and in everyday life. As each person is unique, so is everyone's experience of dyslexia. It can range from mild to severe, and it can co-occur with other learning difficulties. It usually runs in families and is a life-long condition. With the right support, the strengths and talents of dyslexic people can really shine. The theme this year set by the British Dyslexia Association (BDA) is ‘Uniquely You”. You are special. You are distinctive. You are exceptional. If you are unsure what dyslexia is, find out more here in this video from BDA and read about the signs of dyslexia, getting diagnosed, and how to get involved in Dyslexia Awareness Week. https://hubs.ly/Q023YGfG0 #DyslexiaAwarenessWeek #DAW23 #UniquelyYou

🤔 Should I get my child tested for dyslexia? If you’re asking the question, then yes, you probably should. A diagnosis of dyslexia provides a direction for getting help and it can be a huge relief to students because it means that there is a reason for the struggles. It’s not their fault and it isn’t because they’re not smart. 🤔 Will the school test for dyslexia? Many states now require early dyslexia testing. The challenge is that once diagnosed or suspected, most teachers are not trained to remediate dyslexia. Struggling readers may get support through intervention or special education, but the underlying auditory and visual processing skills needed to correct dyslexia are not addressed in the schools. ➡️ Want to get your child tested for dyslexia or another learning challenge?
