Keira knight is my idol I have dyslexia and love acting I hope to be much like her when I'm older

What an incredible Idea. How do I get to enroll for this courses?

I really want to share my expenrience with everyone whose kids struggle with dyslexia! I am a mom of an 8 years old boy, he has got dyslexia, as we recently got to know. Of course, I started to research all over the internet, the communities, the programs which might help to overcome the issue so he doesn’t struggle in school and we tried this program called Grafari (by Constructor Tech). They are’t very popular, as the app is designed specifically for dyslexia kids, the app isn’t colorful like many other applications hence it doesnt irriate the adhd or dyslexia struggling kids. Long story short, I have been seeing a huge progress lately, and can’t be happier, as I thought dyslexia is gonna affect my kid and he will be lauph at but things look much brighter now

Congratulations and continued blessings~

Well I found this site on Google and I emailed some information so hopefully they'll get back to me because everything seems to be so old like everybody has given up on the subject all I see is years ago months ago on almost all the platforms it's too bad I can't meet the right people hopefully it'll happen whoever it is he or she win they meet me they will know they have something special so hopefully my email will be answered

Wish I had these amazing people as teachers growing up!

There is so much more to dyslexia than reading and spelling. I was enlightened today when I read all of the symptoms associated with dyslexia and unfortunately I had most of them. It's a struggle everyday I'm a very intelligent person but it is a struggle everyday.

My experience in school is why I decided to homeschool my children. Yes, that was a financial sacrifice because I did very well in the corporate world, but homeschooling was a success for our family. My kids say they never want to send their kids to public school. My oldest has dyslexia, learning how to teach him is a highlight of my life. Now, I help others homeschool.

All this ❤

Diagnosed as an adult with adhd but think um dyslexic

So you never had dyslexia your teachers were just upset that your parents child was the most attractive one

🎉 "I am finally going to university!" Richard Branson, at 74, you’ve managed to inspire us all yet again-this time with a bit of humour and a whole lot of wisdom-sparking a movement to reimagine education and embrace the brilliance of Dyslexic Thinking. Not just a speech; it’s a rallying cry for all of us to rethink how we learn, grow, and harness our unique strengths. And honestly, who better to deliver it than someone who has spent a lifetime proving that thinking differently is the ultimate superpower? 🔥 It’s insightful, inspiring, and yes, sprinkled with that classic Branson charm. 🌟😂 Let’s all take a page from his book: dream big, think differently, and never stop laughing along the way. #DyslexicThinking #NeverTooLate #DreamBig

Ummm this is not dyslexia friendly since you have to read it all and there is no audio. Sorry but Duh!!!! I wanted to send to my dyslexic son but he can’t read this fast.

Ok they are idiots.

Whilst you’ve got a pulse and a drive or desire, then that’s all you need. I think being told or shown it’s okay to fail is powerful. I never comprehended the bounce back up mentality. I was given stark choices, and I could imagine those in my mind. I’d illustrate the whole lifestyle of my choices and its consequences. So my choices given to me were: study and succeed or don’t study and become a dustbin man. That was the ultimatum that made me study very hard for my GCSEs and not go out for a few months. It worked. The ‘measure of success by others’ was achieved. To ignore the academic route and jump into the real world, I had no idea that you could go out there and fail yet bounce back. I think the only narrative around that I’d heard was one where to drift between jobs, factories etc. whilst living in a council flat. So think it’s also important to be given a much bigger menu, wider choice of what’s really out there and achievable. I’m very split in my feeling between : not wanting to fail & unable to see how the worse things will outcome, versus ‘but why can’t I give it a go and even if I fail I’ll work around it until I’ve exhausted all avenues’. I think the latter mindset was there at time in areas I was curious or enthused. But when you speak like that, you very quickly get told no. And whilst mischievous outside playing as a kid, there was no room for that at home so no means no. Another thing… I’d have ideas. And on the rare occasions I’d share them at home I’d get the common answer from my dad of : no, because that’s been done and that thing is saturated, anybody can do it. I now get the side tip of: differentiate yourself. But he never said that. And beyond a lack of nurturing and the total lack of: but you could instead try this and alter it there… I think he was never on board because he has never shown creativity in the more artistic fields. Nor those conversations. Nor hearing people. However, ironically, I’d say he was creative in fixing some things - ok new building techniques he’d always study a book on best practice but - when it came to his bikes or workbench or something that involved woodwork or metal work, he seemed in his element of : bodge and add these belts & braces. ….. I think there’s creativity in there. Unless it’s just practical engineering. Whereas I think he admired crafted welders and machinists, and I think he had to look at them afar because again I don’t think his mindset was in tune with ‘creating’ that beauty. Ultimately the creativity allows ideas to flourish. To laterally tackle problems. And give yourself a range of solutions. Coupled with a mind that can problem solve and imagine a successful outcome, is a powerful pair of skills.

(Clapclapclap)❤🎉

Two things. Firstly the sounds of paired letters etc., is a great way to understand spelling but doesn’t quicken reading. If people carry on speaking English poorly as they do today, it makes these phonics hard. Second. Whilst in adulthood I’ve grown accustomed to spellings and seeing whole words , for read and form that in my head instantly. To read a sentence can still be a slightly slow procedure. But that gets much worse if reading a report that isn’t succinct - I can read a couple pages and think : what on earth are they saying, where is this going, what’s the main aim… am I being thick. Then give up. Ambiguity is the worst, but waffle and vague reports are terrible. I love James Bond books. They’re the only books I’ve found to have good pace, and meaningful paragraphs. Most other books waffle. Films that labour points over and take a long time to get to a point are painful to watch; oddly a lot of people might agree. Don’t get me wrong I love a western with slow points to contrast the action.

Unfortunately my mum wouldn’t fit in my bag so couldn’t use her as the audible saviour that she was at home for bedtime books. If she hadn’t had to work and instead read through my homework, that would’ve helped more. Instead I’d sometimes just ignore anything ambiguous and take the flak. The introduction of using a PC at uni in 1999 was helpful. But not really useful until I was forced to use it at work on a daily basis, all day long. F7 spell check, Shift F7 thesaurus, and ability to swap it all around (without wasting paper and effort) and not have hard-to-read handwriting was tremendous.

In school I was lost in … let’s start with history. As fascinating as it was, it seemed a jumble of disjointed stories. 3:12 a refresher on last lesson would help a lot. And to have the overview of the total topic goal would help. Then I can slot your bits of information into the segments it’s belongs, building a picture. Going a step further, I wish all history lessons were taught against a timeline. Then point at where we’re at today. Then I can exec summarise what we learnt today into the succinct points on that blob. Nobody ever joined the dots for us to say: Romans brought this; Vikings brought us this; we evolved here; the empire was here and this led into WWI. Partly I suspect because of agenda politics; hard to avoid some truths with the internet now. This method would carry into other subjects. Chemistry was highly frustrating because I saw no goal, no point. Just memorising; this reacts to that - end of story. These symbols mean these complex words, just because we say so. Yet watching the Backyard Scientist is so fascinating. Give me context, the cascading effects in a one or two paragraph summary - but pin it up and keep pointing at those summaries every lesson. We’re interested in these because they’re reactive; these ones give basis of metals; or…. etc. Context. Grouping. Big picture. Purpose. In primary and middle school, lessons were more fun. Yet sometimes boring. Even the start of secondary. My mind didn’t take a scenic route; instead I had got to the end, was bored at hearing steps 2-9, so occupied myself with wondering if alternative routes were possible. I still did this at work and got very frustrated with 4-6 hour long meetings, when they were clearly going off topic. A meeting without agenda and a good lead is a terrible mess; it becomes the loudest boldest talk show. Not much different to lessons - I wouldn’t raise my hand in fear of a wrong answer. I also didn’t like to raise my hand in meetings where I don’t know the people and uncertain of the topic until I know it forwards & backward. I’d tend to listen, take in everyone’s points, suspecting that my step 10 conclusion could be wrong or hasty, so I’d listen more. Sure enough some of their points were off track. At the end I’d like to speak up and summarise. Older leaders began to rely upon me for this summary. Take that head summary scenario and ask me to write a report and I’m stuck. I’ve learnt with time to write bullet points first then expand and rejig order if needed in software. But you can see that writing stuff out can become daunting because I’ve got to step ten without much detail, so the report forces me to write it out. But the writing is too slow and my brain jumps ahead too often. It becomes a real jumble. These days I have to write snippets and throw them into chapters I’ve not begun or fleshed out. Then it spirals into more thoughts. Then I have to reign myself in, to not go beyond the focus topic. Establish what we can assume people know. It’s hard. 6:10 sometimes you’d be right. But sometimes it’ll be the mind has wondered onto something far more thought provoking or even connecting (imagine what that ladybird is thinking, needing, how far it’s gone, what energy it used). My brain has far too many conversations in my head at every quiet time; a shower, breakfast, I can even pause putting my socks on (on a day off) and turn that into an hour exercise. The school day can become too much; the grind, the monotony. Work gets like that.

The public shame is soul destroying. It can only be ‘empowering’ to know you’re dyslexic if you’re then shown the paths to goals (styles of learning etc.); and/or given the support & encouragement. It’s only those with a strong will or determination that don’t require those elements so strongly. Try adding : being the shortest; left handed (in times of fountain pens); colourblind; bullied (I mean daily for years, not a week of scuffles). I think my earliest experience of bullying was due to size. So being tied up by the stolen girls skipping rope, to then be kicked is my furthest back I can recall from primary. But middle school was when I recall my academic difference in class and kids seeing it and laughing; the reading aloud. Going red and wanting to melt away or run. I recall running away sometimes. Hated it. Secondary school was worse. A new click of people; different area. New teachers. No awareness of dyslexia and solutions. Reading again, but more of lacking a fit with these rich kids and their drugs. Rugby was my out to the physical. So switched back to my old area; less of a fit issue. But still the class dumb dumb for English or anything needing to recall facts or rules of thumb. Even teachers were condescending or intolerant of my slow reading. The public shaming in front of the blackboard was gut wrench shattering. Excelled at art, sport, was strong at maths - but the GCSE art teacher went off sick and the temp lost all our coursework; maths top class was full so put into middle ‘because I joined late’ and capped to a B. Sports - you can only score highest if you’re picked for England, or county for a less high score, and capped again if you’re missing those. I was too general in my enjoyment of various sports rather than pick one and specialise. Class sizes are too big for teachers to apply different styles. Or maybe goes beyond what they’re ‘required’ to do within the limited time they have. Target statistics drive certain approaches to education too; again mass numbers game. The education system and people’s quick ‘predator prey on the weak’ is a cruelty that’s never forgotten. I’m sorry to say it but the current world is built off an academic system that rewards those with the ability to read, write and exam-fact-recall. At the end you’re given a bit of paper to illustrate you meet that bar, and society will trust you in those higher regarded (& paid) roles. It’ll be centuries, if not thousands of years, this system remains. The dyslexic minds might have prevailed in a pre-academic world, but today that’s no longer the case. Significant change in how we teach, assess and entrust people is needed if the dyslexic person is to thrive. And it’s my view that dyslexia is only a label needed in an academic world. Without the writing and exams, it’s far less apparent and less needing of a label. It’s only a hindrance in the academic system as it functioned over the last century or more.

I couldn’t recall times table. I cannot remember the rules, especially if they’re similar or long & complex. But my maths in class was strong. Not exams. I did recall “socatowa” (SOH CAH TOA); pie r squared and pie D. I also rely heavily on cheats or approximations. 9x is simply x10 minus one-of-that. Or I like 11x …. say 71 is simply 7_1 and add 7+1 to get 781 (that’s if x10 add another wants checking). Or x4 is just double it twice. Learning what a number should ‘end in’ when multiplying helps a lot when using shortcuts. I’ve never been able to relate to another dyslexic directly. The challenges seem different. I know we are all different, but the effects of dyslexia seem multi faceted or prominent. My dad reckons he’s D too, but he had no tolerance for me being a ‘fairy’ with the lack of enthusiasm to learn my times table - I think in his day it was drummed into them hard and he knuckled down. And put himself through a maths degree as an adult. Instead I liked to rush my homework and go play. Nobody told me that it’s supposed to be a 9-6 day as a child.

6:42 is this extra homework or allowing the child to produce less quantity of words? I’d suggest the latter. The constant ‘having to put more time in’ will always feel like a lifetime burden. Sorry Hart, this isn’t a direct challenge or criticism. Everything you’ve said in all the videos up to this one have resonated and sound on point, useful and provide hope.

84% of teachers? I would really hope that times have changed. As much as I was identified in 1987, I would say that none of my teachers did anything differently in their approach for me in all the years of my education. Nice single conversation at the end of class to say was that okay? Did that go in okay, Would it help to show you it in a different way, do you need to go over that again.

One. So I said on the other video that a headline of today’s lesson helps, and maybe some step chunk / milestones too. But to add to that: I can never write and listen. I found that one of my lectures at University made all of his PowerPoint presentation slides available online, even with footnotes. It meant that I could go to the lecture and just listen. I could take the print out with me and embellish the notes with one or two words and no more than that. I think one of elect did this but without the notes and you had to make your own, and this in itself was still slightly distracting, and it took me awhile to realise that I should only make one or two word notes. Looking back at the old standard school system with blackboards. Writing out the words on the blackboard by the teacher, and having to comprehend their handwriting, and then write it down was really hard… Let alone even being able to hear what they are saying. My heart would actually stop and have a panic attack when I heard my name mentioned. They’re probably comes a point in normal school Ejuke ation that whilst you can give somebody like myself the notes separately, to allow the lesson to flow and the verbal information and visual stimulus to feed into my brain… For those notes to be useful the homework should really be to go back over those notes. Or to have homework questions that directly relate to those notes .

7:00 many of these points hereafter are really useful and resonate. It’s a shame I never saw this in my school - it even helps when a teacher explains those systems. The coloured books & buildings. Memory is my biggest weakness. And when being ‘taught at’ I find it really hard to concentrate. I can only sustain long term ingestion of information when I’m really keen on the subject, it’s in a dynamic situation, and feel involved in the process. A lecture, a presentation etc. are going to mostly go in and out each ear. But a workshop is better. And if it involves problem solving then better still; putting together the chunks of jigsaw/cogs evolves. I think aged 5 or 6 one of my teachers Mr Irons recognised it. Suggested I be tested. And would let me go run off energy in the middle of class. Sounds odd in hindsight given the need for fairness etc. I don’t recall anyone having difficulty like me in reading aloud or writing on the blackboard. Over the years I grew to know most of the 300 students in my year at secondary. Given the school knew my dyslexia, they did nothing to help that sounds like this video. Instead I was still asked to read aloud and then mocked by the other kids. The mocking was allowed and if anything the teacher was irritated I was so bad. It was a relief to be finally taken out of that class to avoid the instant redness, but it was still a shameful label that I was no longer in regular English class because I was now in the special kids class. One where the other couple of students sat there with pencils up their nose and didn’t seem to have any comprehension of anything. The polar extremes. Being given 25 percent extra time in exams did nothing for me. Other than, at uni, I would blurt out a bunch of crammed data onto page 1 (a list of recalled facts) and then cross it out. And I still found many questions written ambiguously; I could fret over that for hours. And we were docked marks for spelling. Essentially the academic system doesn’t fit, and the exams are not a true reflection of comprehension or ability; it seems more like a memory test. I always put this down to being what society wants - you can remember where the stuff goes, you’re not good to these vital jobs. I did fine in maths. Never scored below 97 in class. But bombed in exam. I couldn’t remember rules, formula etc. Yet in A level class I recall forming an approximation of formula needed for each differential equation quite well, before we wrote it out. And the constant use of large numbers made the approximation of those sums easier. It was a visual thing in my head, not a steps system. I was trying to see the overall goal / answer. Yet this is daft, because I like to follow process and if you miss a step in maths you can make mistakes and not find why. I was also baffled when the exam contained stuff we never did in class; I would recall if we had done volumes of a cone, it’s a visual thing, but doesn’t mean I’d remember the formula. Ha. If you gave me a fidget spinner in class, I would’ve stopped listening; wondered how the spinner works; what speed you need to generate a status that it can’t be knocked out of true; or can it fly; … my mind would be elsewhere. The big picture always helps me. I can’t get onboard until I know the overall aim of the days lesson or presentation. A brief summary of the chunks and the end product. Without it I’m constantly lost trying to figure out where it’s going. It’s why I struggle to talk with many people who often become irritated when my enthusiasm jumps to step ten - I could be right sometimes and it still annoys them, or there’s times I’ve missed the direction and they’re annoyed I’m not listening. I get very bored with tedious facts; this being outside an education system (as repetition of small facts is actually helpful). Fickle. I never knew why we had to learn about electrons or such in A level physics and so I wasn’t interested. It’s only in adult life things have clicked and I wish the teacher had given its relevance and illustrated its foundation in the bigger pictures. Whereas the quantum topic was fascinating and I did perfectly well in class for that snippet. Nice guy but totally the wrong teacher for my needs. Middle aged. Having slogged it out in consulting within construction (QS) and found burnout and taken v redundancy. I’ve zero idea where my skills would be needed in society. I don’t see a fit.

Great. Now take all that and imagine it in a standard school, systems and exam based academic system. I’ve never met a teacher who can comprehend all these things mentioned. And the western society still uses an academic system to differentiate its higher qualified jobs that society sees it warrants higher reward.

One of my teachers told my parents "She's such a good writer, too bad she can't spell".

Mind blowing!

you will see many comments beginning with ''I am Dyslexic'' and then go on to list their achievements, but what does this mean when Dyslexia is on a spectrum? I think Dyslexics even forget that the condition has levels of severity, that for some people with Dyslexia achieving those things are simply not possible, the ''I was able to do it so you can too'' opinion ignores this Spectrum. of course Privilege helps with achieving too, I'm sure Sir Richard Branson's well connected wealthy law trained family helped set him up, not only with money but with writing nasty contracts for the likes of Mike Oldfield to sign, Richards grandfather was also Knighted Sir Richard Branson. If Richard had been born to a struggling single parent family no won would have ever heard his name. I'm sure that even some support is better than no support. the vast majority of Dyslexics don't achieve, they get no support, they are taken advantage of, they are doing all the jobs nobody else wants to or could ever handle doing, usually low pay or cash in hand, off the books, no tax, no pension, no holidays, no sic pay, its easy to become disenfranchised and to turn to crime, some stats suggesting more than 60% of Prison inmates have Dyslexia, Suicide levels hare much higher in this group.

So powerful. Brought tears to my eyes.❤

My story, The good, bad and I was ugly: Right eye was damaged at birth in the 40s. In Elementary school years in the 50s was brutal being teased because my right eye didn't open all the way and because I could not read. I was the dumb kid who couldn't read. The school wanted to hold me back from 2nd to 6th grade but parents fought to keep me at my twin's grade level. We transferred to a private school when the public school refused to move me to 7th grade with the twin. I didn't hear the term dyslexia until the 1980s My freshman English teach questioned why I did well at the beginning of a test but never finished answering all the questions. She figured out I didn't see letters and words like other people. Her solution was for me to read newspapers to learn to decode the words because they had short stories using different fonts etc. She also arranged for me to have extra time to take test and my teachers never ask me to read aloud in class. I actually graduated with my class on my own merits and at graduation she said "just because you don't see words like other people doesn't mean you don't have vision" Newspapers did help but the surprise was when I became the kid that seemed to know everything that was going on any local subject. Went into sales and tripled the previous sales record in my second month. Had dinner with the president and admitted I had never read the training manuals. When he ask me to right a new manual I had to admit I couldn't read. He didn't care and assigned me a secretary and I went on to design the national marketing plan, all sales products including billing/pricing programs. Semi retired to work for myself at age 50 Now the part I think is strange. I cannot look at anything without analyzing how to make it better. I've submitted 4 patents with one still pending and created 5 national sales/marketing campaigns ranging from telecommunications to dog food to lawn mowers. Another strange thing is I can type a full page out of head in a matter of minutes but to proof read it could take all day and to type what I'm reading could take days. My dyslexia is I only see one word at a time and that word is surrounded by moving graffiti. No problem with numbers or reversed letters and fortunately the letters don't bounce around or disappear. A lot of people have worse forms than me but most probably have it better. Finally, regardless of severity I think everyone with any kind or level of dyslexia has learned to manage around their unique situation. Like my teacher said "you've have to learn to live with it"

It's 50% or more from around age 55 to 90 years old self made millionaires don't really know they have Dyslexia and they have a stigma about it. We i went to cross Roads school in Paoli PA. I'm from a family of successful dyslexics. I tried to tell me very successful grandfather that the reason he had to always ask his secretary to spell everything to him was because he had what I have. That's why your paying all that money to send me on the train to Philly every day lol he got mad at first 🤣 then he kinda started thinking about it after several years. He was one of the most successful dairy cattle dealers in the US. Mine is strong

No one ever believed I was dyslexic, until I finally got the diagnosis. I masked it well enough for people to just call me lazy and slow. But that wasn’t true, and I knew it. I just thought about things a different way. And this has helped me in so many ways throughout life. Watching this made me realize that dyslexia can be a sort of blessing if you really think about it. It’s just this world that doesn’t fit us, so we have to mold it to ourselves❤

Thank you 💡🙌😀🥳🎉💛🎶🌈🙏

I was born in the 60s nothing has changed in mainstream education really. I am dyslexic, school was hell for me but I knew I was different and I chose to help myself after I left school. I became a hairdresser I have always chosen anything arty to express myself. When my children were young, I was asked to be a learning support worker in their primary school after helping out as a volunteer. I told the head I was dyslexic and I couldn't see what help I could be, the head told me he was also dyslexic and said just give it ago. I loved it, it was also helping me learn the bits at school that I struggled with in the 70s. The sad thing is the National Curriculum does not cater for children with dyslexia or special needs. I kept telling the school children with dyslexia learn in a different way, group reading is not picking up children who are struggling. Changing reading books without checking they know the words in each book. You have to involve parents more in their children's learning. I took it on myself to prove to a new head, do it my way and the children will start to catch up. Reading improved by 6 months and I had full backing of the parents that I worked with. I was honest with them, I said I can't do it on my own. I then took on Additional Literacy in the school, it was great phonic based learning which worked to a point. I had to devise tick sheets that didn't come with the scheme, without tick sheets how would we know which sounds etc, the children knew. I went with the class teacher to a meeting about additional literacy, sat listening to how wonderful things were going, I stood up and asked how do you know that. It took a hell of a lot to do that in a room of highly educated people, The dyslexic adult always thinking I was stupid but the one thing I am good at is talking standing up for children's learning. I told them about the tick sheets I had made and was asked if the speaker could see the system I had devised, he agreed they did need a system in place. Yes like with all these things it takes patients and time to really know each child, each child is different, we are different but we are not stupid. When I say nothing has changed my granddaughter is in year three, struggling at school, the school knows she's struggling, others are struggling because the parents tell each other. Nothing is being done about it. I know she dyslexic it breaks my heart that she will leave junior school and still nothing will be done. Why are we still treating kids with dyslexia like they are stupid why are schools still teaching to the middle and top groups. I had seven children in my group not just children with dyslexia, daily I differentiated their work tailored it to their needs, If I had not done this, who was going to do it. I battled with Ofsted about children learning, I told them our system in the UK does not work for children with special needs. I put my groups work on the walls and was asked by an Ofsted inspector why was work on the walls with spelling mistakes, my reply surely its better that a child gets something on paper, that child has tried and tried much harder than the child who's work has perfect spelling. I would put a dot on the page and just ask them to write as much as they could, every step you have to praise because every step is a mountain to climb. I was in charge of the classroom displays so I always included their work. I know how hard teachers work and I know teachers alone cannot do this, not every teacher has a learning support worker in the classroom and not one who is dyslexic, if I saved one child in my fifteen years of being a learning support worker that's one less child that doesn't feel the way I felt growing up. Its not the child, its the system that's wrong. Dyslexic children are very clever they can learn but at a slower pace and yes you have to go over it more revisit everything. Don't teach them things at the pace of a mainstream school and think they will get first time, second time, third it they won't. Us dyslexic humans can change things if people will listen to us, sadly I can't change it for my granddaughter I don't live near enough. Embrace your dyslexia, don't let it ever stop you being you or thinking you are stupid, you are not, I am not. My school report always said I was struggling but I can draw and I can communicate well. I left school with nothing, yet its never held me back. I shouldn't have to apologise for being dyslexic to anyone but sadly I have always and this is something I have to stop. Someone please change our education system to make dyslexic children feel part of it, not excluded from the right to read and write and learn. If my comment is muddled, I find it very hard to punctuate and have no idea where paragraphs start or end. Its taken me over fifty years to add any punctuation, I am sixty two now, its probably all wrong but I have got down most of what I wanted to say. I am maths dyslexic too means nothing to me. I see myself in my granddaughter, she's kind beautiful always helping others already finding ways around this education system, her dyslexic way. So please lets help her and all of our children struggling. Lets stop making excuses for why we can't help these children stop, telling parents they are too young know yet they if are dyslexic she's 7 she's dyslexic, she's struggling, school is not helping and we dyslexics we know that feeling.

I have dyslexia and this initiative doesn’t really seem very helpful. It’s just a couple of hour long courses about how great dyslexia is - with successful people patting each other’s backs to smooth over the chips in their shoulders for doing poorly in school. Something more tangible like a campaign for education reform, or grants for dyslexic students would’ve been better. This whole thing is just PR for Branson.

School sucked for me my teacher pretty much ignored me I made it to 7th grade and couldn't read. I had to be sent to private school too learn how to read and with small class sizes and more help from my teachers and tutor I was getting 80 and 90 on my tests I was doing great. Then they pulled the rug out from underneath me and sent me back to public school were I just drop out ADHD/dyslexia made public school suck for me

such a big help and eye opener

I had the same treatment And I hope thought share this it will help many. How I was treated at school. Would be a criminal offense today.

What if the teacher is dyslexic 🤔

I am so excited to be honest with you I struggle in school and ever since so as a 56 year old man registered disabled at DWP I think I can't wait to enrolled in this course well done 👍 Richard and the team 👍 👏 ❤🎉

I am dyslexic, abused called lazy. At 22 a boss said I think your are dyslexic, went to NYC to the Orton society. And learned 3 reading to 6 grade and platoed because of mental blocks from abuse. Forms are my nightmare. I need up on disability becouse of my back . And after 5 years I went over , I had confused weekly pay from monthly, or yearly, some mounth I made 0 and other months I made 1200. And I was over. They took my disability away, I felt lost, and lost hope and ended in the hospital with a nervous breakdown, with help I did get a lawer and did get it back. I had to sell my beloved home that saved me as a child. . I worked from 16 as a lifeguard, and in pre press for 20 years. I am skilled finding how to put things together, finding things, was good at art, but my main focus was always how to survive.. Th a no you for making this a point to help people understand the "how" the how is what got me through and being thankful for what I have.

Great video - very informative.
