At the same time, the amount of dyslexic who is imprisoned will be disproportionate. Given these two very different pictures, is dyslexia a gift or a curse?
Why do you see dyslexia as a disorder?
Certainly dyslexic children may encounter many difficulties at school. They may see friends learn easy to read and spell. They may feel easier for others in the class. They are the only people to fight. This leads to losing frustration and confidence.
Also, children with dyslexia are often told that they were mistaken or missing. The word is very powerful. Especially words that parents and teachers use to express children. When children hear words such as "dam", "slow" or "disable", they begin to own these labels and are defined by them shortly. If they believe they are inferior in some way they may quit the trial at school and quit the fact that they can not succeed.
So who will call dyslexia a gift?
First of all, as with most of life, dyslexia is a very changing condition. Some people with dyslexia may only pay attention to the mild difficulty of reading, others may be more seriously affected. Obviously, it is easier for people with mild dyslexia to find compensation, overcome difficulties, find success in her life. Those who are affected more seriously, it is sometimes difficult to overcome these challenges.
But even the most severely affected dyslexic people can find success in life. Often it begins with having the right mentor to encourage them and help them develop their strengths. If parents and teachers are in dyslexic children, believe in him, continually encourage him and point out the strength, he will build a lasting attitude and continue trying new things.
Also, if a child is given the ability to use accommodation and assistive technologies to deal with her difficulties, these challenges are less likely to stop her. For example, if a child has a very creative mind, but finds that the physical act of writing is very difficult, she will be closed and these wonderful ideas may never come out Hmm. However, if you have a teacher in the same child and you can use auxiliary devices such as computers, dictation software, audio books etc, you will have the opportunity to show creativity. Then she will receive a positive feedback to help her last longer.
Finally, there are many stories about how creativity of dyslexic people can see problems from unique angles in many cases. Therefore, if these people struggle at school, graduate and pursue passion, we can develop a successful company that finds a wonderful solution to the problem of the world and creates a solution for it.
