Dyslexia now affects millions of people around the world. A person that has Dyslexia can learn but will learn at their own pace and level. Many times a person with Dyslexia will excel in another area, such as in mathematics. People with Dyslexia may experience problems some of the following areas: (1) memory problems, (2) difficulty with perception, (3) challenges in abstract reasoning, (4) concentration problems, (5) difficulty with social situations, (6) poor academic performance, (7) challenges to fine motor skills such as hand-eye coordination, and (8) underachieving performance. Many times people who have Dyslexia are misunderstood, and the general public will view them as lazy and unmotivated, or lacking intelligence. Someone who is suffering from Dyslexia will need to have moral support from family and friends as well as some type learning assistance. It is important that family and friends of someone suffering from Dyslexia offer support and encouragement so that the Dyslexic doesn’t feel alone and isolated. It is also important that for the person with Dyslexia there is moral support both at home and at school or at work. People with Dyslexia will often have to work harder than the average person to make achievements and move ahead. Now that Dyslexia is understood more fully than at any time in history, there are educational helps for those who need it. Dyslexics have a hard time reading and writing, but shouldn't give up trying to learn. There are tools available to help them have an easier time. They can ask others to write something down for them. They can also ask them to repeat directions or read them aloud. When they are word processing, they have the handy spellchecker tool, which will also help with grammar. If you, or someone you know, has real struggles with reading, writing, or learning it might just be that they are dyslexic. Rather than getting ever more discouraged, seek a professional assessment and get the right help. There are many dyslexics that have been hugely successful in all walks of life, and there is no reason that should not be true for you or your loved ones too - all it takes is some determination, support, and good advice.
