James Gentry, Tarleton Associate Professor, spoke to an audience about his own personal struggle with dyslexia. Dyslexia is a language based disorder that affects a nearly 15% of young people in school. Dyslexia can make language skills and learning comprehension very difficult and can lead to improper diagnosis and students being left behind in their education.
Dyslexic students can be taught using alternative ways.
Gentry states that finding alternative ways to teach students with dyslexia is the key to reaching them. Not all students will learn at the same pace and to expect every student to be at the same level at the same time is counterproductive. Gentry hopes that new technologies could lead to improved education for dyslexic students.
