I wanted to thank you for this video it was very insightful and uplifting. I've recently started college but I have always wanted to be a vet and I am only just realizing how much more work it's going to take, even with accommodations, to have dyslexia and pursue veterinarian science. I am impressed and amazed by your accomplishments. I really need to hear this today thank you.

Merci Doc !

I’m dyslexic and I’m 32 and I’m going back to school to become a vet tech and then another year to become a veterinarian nurse. I have horrible anxiety about this whole situation. Will the staff and teachers understand?

Super video. Simple and straight to the point.

What software is this?

Could there be a way:- say, to: "Fundraise, for: AfriCAN_ Countries, to: have such: access to/for: such_tech."??

please add English subtitle to it also the volume is low

How do we fix it? 😅

‘“A learner with dyslexia” is more positive than calling someone a “dyslexic learner”. We always need to look outside the box with dyslexia. There is definitely not a one size fits all solution. Sitting closer to the teacher makes concentrating easier as it cuts out a small amount of distraction which can make a big difference to that persons individual learning space. Similarly, having extra time to get yourself organised for example: getting your bag, shoes, or books first (or near first) allows to build a positive momentum. Imagine dreading reading all day and then waiting till last to have your turn. A simple set of spoken Instructions given from the teacher can be extremely confusing and difficult to remember in the correct order for example. Simply writing down bullet points and discreetly giving it to someone in class who may benefit from it will make life a lot easier. Speak to the class about dyslexia, the issues and gifts that someone has and provide positive role models including other teachers or support staff that have the condition. Talk about famous people with dyslexia and how it’s helped them achieve their goals. I’m an adult aged in my late 40s and have mild dyslexia. I’m pleased we’ve come a long way in understanding but there is such a long way to go. Do remember that each child is affected differently. I never met another person with dyslexia until I was an adult. My teacher in 1986 had never heard of dyslexia and no one ever spoke about it except my parents and teachers behind my back. Children with the condition are often mislabelled as lazy or careless or treated in a way that deems them as “poorer than average” for example. This is of course not true and it’s generally accepted that the condition affects those with average to above average intellect. We need to work with children and listen to what they find challenging and ask them to also suggest ways that others can help. I’m delighted that things are moving in a positive direction decades on. We must remain sensitive to the needs of everyone.

Thank you, I'm pretty sure my bright and hard working daughter (7yo) is dyslexia. I have been so concerned on how her career paths could be limited. Your interview is so encouraging. You have lifted my hopes for her, even though it will be a difficult journey ahead.

Really useful practical tips which I hugely appreciate. It can feel like a minefield to know where to focus and what to do but this has helped me think afresh.

Thank you for making this available so it can be watched at anytime. I've learned a lot and am looking forward to Part 2 🙂

My stepdad😁😁😁😁

Hello! I would love to know, if it is possible to know more about the application or assistive tool, because i believe it will be a big help to hard with hearing and mute students, especially in their learning. I believe it will help them to be encouraged to learn more and it will motivate them to have more knowledge that they thought it is impossible to have. I hope you can help me, so that we would be able to expand the help, not only with students who have dyslexia, but also to those impaired students that do not have the confidence to engage in the real world. Thank you!!❤

Just sucks when you get too university and because of the lack of Dyslexics who have entered into the field of medicinal chemistry (I am supposing since its their only excuse) they don't have audio versions of general chem, organic chem, cell biology, just my degree, everyone is telling me they need too provide it and their should be one but the university is just apologising for the lack of one but no plans on getting one added, makes it really difficult.

You make my day every day. I sub to

This information was so helpful and also useful for children with visual impairment, which makes it difficult to read/write. Well done and thanks for sharing info about the apps

I am dyslexic and I am doing my honours degree in chemistry, also dyscalculia, so I mean probably the worst disabilities for the field when it comes too thermodynamics and chemical kinetics. The concentration issue sounds like ADHD but Scotland is a pretty far behind place when it comes to mental health and disabilities so we don't diagnose them together, when they usually come together, just not so often the hyperactivity so its often missed as the dyslexic child will be quiet and shy and not wish too speak, so no one notices they have ADHD.

Thank you Emma, good advice. I am dyslexic and so is my daughter (10yo)

Thanks for producing this! I am a voluntary tutor to an S1 boy, who hasn’t been assessed for speech and language difference, but who exhibits MANY of the strengths and difficulties covered. It’s actually been really helpful to have Sharon confirming much of what I have realised myself, just through working with the young man….and I definitely feel much more confident that I am along the right lines in the approaches that I have been trying. My biggest “take” from the session, was the bit around “pre-empting questions”, in order to try to minimise anxiety and consequent brain “overload”. I have a frontal lobe brain injury - now much recovered - but I remember how difficult it was, in the early months, for my brain to handle unforeseen events if I was feeling anxious/not in control. I have instinctively been trying not to spring surprises on my young man……But now I understand how much this approach matters, I’m hopefully going to be be even better at employing it! Thank you 😊

This made me cry. I was diagnosed with dyslexia but never supported in school and untill today I didn't know there was a link between dyslexia and mental health issues. Watching the clip made me cry because it described so much of what I'm going through and what I've always gone through. So many of the issues associated with dyslexia describes my mental state, something until now I could never describe or put into words. I need to see the whole documentary!

we have no trouble talking face to face advantage, i could clear up alot of the answer'sfor this video. as i am dyslexic and so is my son. understanding it you have to be it!

I am happy and humbled to have found this video. I am dyslexic and I do teach. Similar to what you have said I am appreciative of having dyslexia because I can help others get thru it.

Excellent video and totally agree with the emotions.

This was absolutely incredible. I can't wait to see the full length documentary. It's made me so emotional, its so emotionally powerful as a Mum of a 10 year old dyslexic girl. She suffers massively with anxiety, mainly due to the dyslexia, and I have no idea how I am going to help her overcome it, and return to school. I do however have renewed faith, that at some point, she will make her own way in life, and hopefully, future generations will have an easier ride of it. You have all been incredibly honest, and open, and you should be commended for what you are doing to help others. Good luck all!

Very powerful personal development insights from everyone on here. Great stuff. Thank you.

Thanks for making this

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Loved the intro. Excellent speakers who were brutally honest which is most refreshing. Looking forward to watching the rest. This will be a most helpful to other dyslexics / neurodivergent's

Great video thank you 😊

I would love to chat with Emily. I love being Dyslexic too. Being Dyslexic I was able to make reading fun and not stressful for our Dyslexic daughter. She is now a Bookworm. Melody passed her Music Theory Exam with a Distinction. She could hardly read, write or spell in school when she was 10 years old. Many creative people fail in school. We need a debate.

I'm very proud of you keep up the good work you're not alone I have it too there's many different ways of getting around it keep up the good work and God will bless you💪🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Great video Rossie 👍

Great video Linden, you’re smashing it man, 💥 im grateful to see your video. Good luck with your future!

What age are you teaching? For the first time I am hearing someone with the similar dyslexic ability. But I am doing my teacher training and I am struggling with organisations. As well as taking so much time to plan. I am worrying about all the extra responsibilities of a teacher, gathering information and uni. It’s really hard. I am trying to push myself through. I have already cried 3 times.

The Jennifer Ewan Band is brilliant. I recommend people look them up. Great music and great advice Jen. Inspiring 👍

I have dyslexia and all I want to be when I’m older is a police officer Do u think I can do it

I love it!

Wow you talk about some interesting topics in the video production industry! We are interested what you talk about, keep it up. Anytime you're in Phoenix reach out. If you can, DM us @dmakproductions on IG and we can chat. You do really great work.

I don't think we gifted good on you I'm 41 I still have no idea what my talent is

I am currently working to get in to unis to do primary education and I'm dyslexic too. How dyslexia are you? And how is uni doing now? I have struggled with dyslexia my entire life and I have had support throughout. I am doing a BTEC Extended Deploma currently and doing well with family support and it is all course work. The only thing I am worried about is the reading. Thank you so much for your story it really helped me feel that I will be able to get there. 🙂

Love this, so engaging and clear.

I would - Love to find out: "what % of FOOTballers: are dyslexic!!"??

Amazing episode! Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm also fan of design podcast by Future London Academy.
