There is some debate and discussion on social media about whether dyslexia is actually a superpower.
And if it is, why doesn’t it always show up as such?
There are many factors leading to these conclusions, but the main one, is that the traditional school system is not set up in such a way as to recognize dyslexic thinking and allow students to shine their dyslexic brilliance.
How can we help change this?
- Early diagnosis and intervention
- Targeted support
- Accommodations
- Increased teacher training to help them better understand the dyslexic student
- Share with teachers actionable tools and best practices for dyslexia
- Provide choice in ways dyslexic students can show what they know
Let’s work together to create a better future for dyslexic students so that they can achieve academic excellence and success!
