Something that few of us know about or talk about is something that affects people every day. I am talking about dyslexia. Many people know that basics but don’t think about how the person has to deal with it every day. Tasks that can be simple to us may take someone else a little longer to get through.
Recent AMA Journal of Ethics article calls for mandatory dyslexia training in medical school faculty. Dyslexia training should be mandatory so educators can both help students with dyslexia and reduce stigma surrounding condition.
Although don’t let that fool you. Just because someone has dyslexia does not mean that they are limited to jobs or hobbies that are ‘simpler’. Remember that just because a person may stumble on their words because they are not able to see as clearly as us, they have many other attributes that make it, no big thing.
