Welcome to our blog, a dedicated space where we delve into the world of dyslexia and reading acquisition. Our mission is to provide a guiding light for parents navigating the path to support their children, offering insights, support and resources to empower them on this transformative journey.
Struggling readers are not just statistics; they are unique individuals with diverse stories. Here, we explore the unique needs of these children. We believe it is essential to address the mental health aspects for dyslexic children, understanding that their challenges are not just academic, but emotional as well.
We want to create a space where parents and educators can come together to share experiences, strategies, and support for children with reading difficulties. Together, we can pave the way for a brighter future, where every child’s path to reading is met with understanding, compassion, and the tools they need to succeed.
ADHD and dyslexia are two distinct neurobehavioral conditions that can occur independently or together, often with overlapping symptoms.
Classifying dyslexia as a disability has helped establish a legal basis to provide support and prevent discrimination again dyslexics. It has been helpful to recognise dyslexia as a disability but we believe that we should be careful in labeling dyslexia as a disability or handicap outside of this legal discussion.
A formal diagnosis of dyslexia can provide a comprehensive report detailing your child’s strengths and weaknesses, helping you and your child’s school determine the best approach to support their learning.
Much like a spectrum, the boundary between dyslexia and “expected” reading abilities is not exactly clear-cut, which means that children who have reading problems may not be classified as dyslexic.
