Parents are the
first to sense that their child is not like other children. Unfortunately, parents
incorrectly assume that their child is developing slower than other children and
will catch up, or that their child is not as smart as other children. These assumptions
just aren't true about children who are dyslexic, because by definition, many
people who have been diagnosed as being dyslexic have average to above average
intelligence! Please don't make the biggest mistake many parents make, don't hide
this - get help for your child so that he or she can learn to live successfully
with dyslexia. For
many adults with dyslexia, performance is no longer based on academics but on
how well one does the job. You've entered a world with opportunities for success,
as well as new challenges - keeping up with required reading, public speaking,
discrimination and lack of understanding by employers. Just know that in spite
of the language challenges you face, you are intelligent and capable. One of your
best tools for managing the challenges you face is knowledge - knowledge about
dyslexia and related issues. Dyslexia

Gibraltar College
brings excitement and new opportunities. But for you, a student with dyslexia,
college also means a higher level of academic requirements. You have the knowledge
and ability, but obstacles like essay exams, written reports, reading assignments,
spelling issues, and lack of time can stand in your way. Frequently you face a
lack of understanding by your instructor or peers. Learning more about yourself
is the best way to develop an effective strategy for success. Dyslexia
brings daily challenges. As a teen, you struggle with academic requirements, parents'
expectations, and tremendous pressure from peers. It's hard to deal with the challenges
of dyslexia, build your self-confidence and satisfy everyone around you. Just
remember, you are smart! By definition, many individuals with dyslexia have average
or above average intelligence. By knowing more about dyslexia and related topics,
you can understand more about yourself and how to take charge of your learning. Dyslexia

an educator, you may find that many of the students in your class have a language-related
learning disability. You may notice that these students do not participate or
they may withdraw or even act out in class, because they do not know how to read,
spell or express themselves in oral or written language. As a matter of fact,
their brains process information differently than yours and mine do, so many of
today's teaching techniques often do not work for them. Did you know that by definition,
many people who have been diagnosed as being dyslexic have average to above average
intelligence! It's never too late for children or adults to learn to read.
