#Dyslexia And Proud – Dyslexia Awareness

Dyslexia makes life hard for many young people. You may be surprised to learn that many famous people had it. But being different isn’t just a disadvantage, it can offer some unique gifts too. The tendency to see patterns, creativity, artistic vision and storytelling abilities are some of the talents that dyslexics may have compared to other people.
There are many strategies to compensate for the disadvantages of having dyslexia. Color coding information, using audio books, taking notes with images rather than words and using mnemonics are just some of the mental techniques to help cope. Being creative with your innate talents and individualizing your coping strategies are vital to functioning well while dyslexic.
