Dyslexics learn to get support, take charge of their lives #dyslexia

Students with Dyslexia have always faced challenges in the classroom but now they are taking charge and showing their support along the way. Parents and teachers are proud of the progress that students have made. They have shed light on a positive story regarding Dyslexic students. These students have made strides in related academic fields too.

Advocates say too many children still go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, educators still know too little about what dyslexia is and how to treat it.

Students with dyslexia are not receiving the education they deserve.

Each student will be required to take a test on a particular subject and their success will be evaluated in a short amount of time that could be a stumbling block for anyone with Dyslexia. Their learning abilities have improved, but they need to get passing scores on tests that may be the biggest challenge that they have to overcome.
