There are some very
USEFUL BOOKS to help you understand Dyslexia and to help your child. And
some thoughts from children on how it feels to be
dyslexic - "Plees help"
This site came about when I found out that my
son, Callum was diagnosed as a dyslexic (at the age of 6)
and I researched across the internet to find out
and understand as much as I could in order to help him. His father is also
dyslexic but as a child was labeled stupid and disruptive and had an unhappy
time at school. We can only hope that now there is more awareness about Dyslexia,
children diagnosed with it will have a better time at school with the support of
parents and teachers who are now more geared up to support it within mainstream
schools. They estimate that 1 in
10 children have Dyslexic tendencies which is about 2-3 children per average
class. The Government's latest Code of Practice is pushing schools more
and more into supporting children with special needs and to include them rather
than exclude them.
Parenting a child with special needs is quite
a challenge. Often, it means learning a whole new field, finding out about special
education, testing procedures, and special software just so you can make informed decisions about
your child. In order to assist, this website consists of dozens of links and
numerous bits of gathered information in order for you as a parent to understand
the issues of Dyslexia and how to provide support for your child at home and at
school.
Information on this website is drawn from many sources from
around the internet and in respect of the authors, there are links at end of
each information
