For numerous tips and tricks about dyslexia, The Dyslexia Training Institute is an online resource that provides a wealth of information. As this video shows, parts of its goals are to dispel common myths, including how it's not a vision problem, a lack of motivation, or a hearing problem. It's also clear that while no one can simply "outgrow it," there are ways to cope.

The Institute can provide diagnostic assessments for anyone suspecting they may have dyslexia. This video also notes that the current handling of dyslexic students is insufficient. Accommodations are important for students with dyslexia, because they need to be able to access information that they're intellectually capable of understanding. This is not to create unfair advantage, but to even the playing field for everyone.

In addition to accommodations, you'll also want to get a program started to develop the micro-skills that are weak.
The best way to do that is to get started on the Learning Success System today!

There's hope for their child, their child will learn how to read when given the correct intervention.
