What is Dyslexia
Dyslexia means “trouble with words.” Recently, however, it has been further categorized into many different labels including ADD, ADHD, Receptive Language Delay, visual-spatial learners, processing disorders, etc. As more is learned about the commonality in thinking styles among all of these, there is a consistent theme with respect to many learning disabilities: Disorientation.
What is Disorientation?
Disorientation is actually a natural talent – a gift. When disoriented, visual-spatial thinkers can problem-solve, create, invent, engineer, and escape by using their extraordinary and vibrant multi-sensory thoughts, similar to movies. This same gift, however, is also what makes dealing with 2-dimensional words and symbols a tedious task.
Disorientation Can Affect Many Areas of Learning
Reading
Spelling
Comprehension
Writing
Math
Treatment
When equipped with the right tools, people with dyslexia and other related learning disabilities can intentionally control and correct their perceptions and avoid the disabling aspects, allowing their gifts and talents to shine.
