About UsAs a proud Mom of a dyslexic son, I wanted a site to share the many resources, articles, and organizations that can help educate educators, parents and our law makers about this misunderstood learning disability - dyslexia. There is much misconception and lack of knowledge among educators, academia in general, the medical world and parents. Some states have established laws to address the identification of children with dyslexia, educate (teachers, school psychologists, administrators...), yet many states are in the dark ages. Parents are forced to go outside the school system to get evaluations to identify their child's dyslexia. Parents then have to scrabble to learn about dyslexia - an LD which no one seems to understand, recognize, or address in any manner. Once the parent realizes what is needed versus what their child is receiving in school, they are then burdened with seeing their child continue to struggle, or taking on educating the school about dyslexia. Although their struggle often falls on deaf ears, due to the lack of education within the school system. The parent of a dyslexic child is forced to battle the special education system to get what is needed for their child to succeed. It can be a long and painful process, resulting in many children reaching a point of falling years behind their peers, and a diminished self-esteem. The sad fact is that dyslexia has been researched for many years, yet our school systems and laws have not kept up. The misconception that dyslexics are slow, lazy, and not smart... couldn't be further from the truth. Dyslexics see the world differently, think differently, and have many special talents and abilities, allowing many to achieve great success. Some of the well known dyslexics - Walt Disney, Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein, Tom Cruise, Jay Leno, Sir Richard Branson, and many talented and innovative entrepreneurs.
