Dyslexia - Crisis or Opportunity
The Chinese use two brush strokes to
write the word ‘crisis.’ One brush stroke
stands for danger; the other for opportunity.
In a crisis, be aware of the danger - but
recognize the opportunity.
John F. Kennedy, Speech, April 12, 1959
Dyslexia is both a crisis and an opportunity.
It is a crisis, because most kids, even
from the best homes, struggle for years,
because they are not understood
Psychologists will often recommend
a combination of phonics and medication
-- the phonics does not tend to work,
because these kids have not mastered
sight word vocabulary and pattern
recognition ( that is, creating pictures
for the small words and recognizing
words they have previously seen)
It is also a danger, because parents
feel they must either medicate their
child or accept the consequences
Dyslexia opens many opportunities
because:
- There have been many successful
people with Dyslexia -- and the
gifts these people and your child
may have can help them in life
if they can only survive school
- There are hands-on and effective
ways to teach these kids how
to master sight word vocabulary
and pattern recognition -- and
to then have them transfer what
they read into pictures. It is now
possible to improve reading speed
and comprehension, while making
reading more fun
- With the Interactive Metronome (R),
Brain Gym (R) and Biofeedback, there
are many ways to improve attention
