The models of understanding learning difficulties like dyslexia are incredibly useful for helping dyslexic students recieve the assistiance they greatly need. This video features Michelle-Lynn Yap, a Registrar of Educational Therapists, and her presentation on dyslexia. Finding the best models for coping with and teaching dyslexia can help parents and educators move away from the literacy deficit obsession in our education culture.

Instead, it's important to understand different layers of the difficulty. Educators and parents should not only work on the literacy aspects of a dyslexic but rather also balance it with the emotional and social side of helping the child. If we try to view an individual dyslexic as a whole, we will ensure that they receive individualized assessments for their support. We need to move away from the "one size fits all mentality".

We have worked a variety of solutions into the Learning Success System. The brain likes variety -- it keeps us focused, and makes different learning systems work together.
If you'd like a system that uses variety as well as other important principles for overcoming a learning difficulty grab your copy of the Learning Success System!

Every child or every learner with the difficulty needs to be understood at the wholistic level and also managed at the wholistic level.
