Dyslexia: Cracking the code

[@SeanSalas]

Having dyslexia and watching this made me have flashbacks of the horrors that I had to endure with teachers and how cruel other students can be. I can only hope that there will be change how our kids are being taught. Hope that’s all I have.

[@molldogone8250]

Sean Salas, I too know those horrors. Crying to the point I couldn't see the words if I tried. How differently would life be now if they would have realized we had reading issues then.

[@tnisiadunn5688]

@@molldogone8250 I remember being in the first grade, and having my teacher embarrassing me by taking me room to room having me to read to each teacher. I couldn't read then, but I tried so hard. I'm 36 now, and I can still feel the pain of that day.

[@funkdrunk]

perhaps you were not deficient in any way, just not ready, or not interesting, and before you managed to get a start, cruelty ensued and ruined it?

[@karenreynolds7109]

As a dyslexic, thank you for this segment. I also struggled with reading, math, and reading music. Our brains process information differently, which can lead to the gifts of being better at analysis, observation, creativity, and innovation. I am now a college instructor but I received help in first grade. I wish the news would also cover the other types of dyslexia so people could be aware of the spectrum and the range.

[@Edu_Kate]

Exactly! My reading is fine, but I sometimes type words backwards. My math skills suck. I'm great at problem-solving, visualizing, creating. I'm even a writer. I do believe dyslexia ranks on a scale. Milder forms are harder to determine.

[@theresegriffin204]

I have Vision Tracking. Hardly anyone knows that term. It's like Word Blindness in the middle of a sentence. I tell people it's a cousin to Dyslexia. I didn't get a true handle on my problem until age 70. I had to figure out my own special accommodations.

[@danschoenharl3856]

Now 50, I "discovered", on my own, that I was dyslexic in my 40's. I suddenly understood, why school had been so difficult for me to tolerate... it was a totally inappropriate education. While perhaps ultimately my greatest asset, growing up with dyslexia was my greatest liability. I believe dyslexia is not a disability, but it can be a great strength. But we must all be taught, how to best use our strengths. Everyone deserves an education, that helps them grow in ability and confidence. I, instead, was offered educational neglect, and ultimately left with massive debt. Let's do better for those who come after us.

[@oltedders]

[@johnbondza]

Dyslexia isn't a single affliction, it is a group of issues that professionals have lumped together. Some people will have one, others another and a few some third issue. Some unfortunately have several issues. To complicate matters, it follows a spectrum. Some have it mildly, others are profoundly disabled. Professionals generally use a single intervention for everyone and this generally fails. However there is some hope for a few Dyslexics. These people find a calling that they can accel at and become successful. We should help Dyslexics find this calling. Over my almost 70 years, I have had dozens of dyslexic friends and associates and most have been very successful. They also have a drive and a general humility that is attractive. I for example have done about as well as my non dyslexic classmates. At school I failed 3 years then dropped out. I loved manufacturing so I became an expert at it. I struggled through night school and at 49 I qualified for University. I ended up with an outstanding Masters degree and lectured MBA students part time for a while. Surprisingly I am not much more successful than the average of our group of Dyslexics. So my four key points are 1. Find what you are passionate about. 2. Focus on your chosen direction, even if you are just average. 3. Expect to have to work 3 times as hard as everyone else. 4. Don't ever feel resentful. Some people are born blind, others have lost a hand and you struggle not being able to read.

[@suziperret468]

Dyslexia, can be overcome. Those that do are training their minds to work extra hard. These people are extra intelligent. The dyslexia advantage. It’s thinking outside the box.

[@asgerlauritzen5386]

I must admit that i disagree with your 3 first statments and agree with your last. 1st and 2nd statment: Dyslexia, can be overcome and Those that do are training their minds to work extra hard. Dyslexia can't be overcome, since it's way the your brain works. it's posible to learn to live with it. And you can still learn how to read and write, and this will indeed train your brian and you will need to work extra hard for this. But you will never be able to read the same way as a non-dyslexic person. You can't overcome Dyslexia, you are and always will be a Dyslexic no matter what you do. 3rd statement: These people are extra intelligent, it has nothing to do with intelligent (IQ). Dyslexia doesn't affect IQ. A dyslexic person can range from a low to high IQ just like any other person. It's not about IQ, But about will power. Those who are able to learn are extremely tough mentally/psychologically. Your 4th and last statment: The dyslexia advantage. It’s thinking outside the box. I agree with it. your brian works differently (you think differently), not by any means worse. It's and will always be a huge advantage to think diffrently. Just like in sports were left handed people have a hugh advantage against right handed. Because Right handed are trained to compete againt right handed people. where left-handed people are trained to compete againt right handed people. So left handed people will always have an advantage. Dyslexic people are trained to compete againt nondyslexic people and nondyslexic people are trained to compete against nondyslexic people. So in a socialt dominated by nondyslexic people. Dyslexic people will have an hugh advantage. i don't mean to be rude in any way. I just wanted to say you can't get rid of it. And that it has nothing to do with IQ, if you ever learn to read. It has only something to do with willpower or good conditions. I have Severe Dyslexia myself. You don't have to agree with me, if you don't see it, in the same way that i do.

[@mikejones3882]

Wow! Great reporting! The education system never identified why I was having trouble reading, even though my IQ was very high. I am left-handed yet I was told to use my right hand by my teacher. I am color blind (didn't know that until I tried to join the military as a pilot, the doctor said "sorry son, you cannot read a radar screen). I was held back a year in the second grade then after I learned to read and after the IQ test, they suggested to my parents to push me up two grade levels. Mathematically, I was way ahead of my peers. I found school torturous and intensely boring. I barely made it out of high school. To this day, I am a slow reader however this has not stopped me. I made it through college by sitting in the front row with fierce attention to my professor's words and taking copious notes. I graduated my bachelor of science with a 3.8 GPA yet I have trouble reading and writing. Mostly, I see a word and pull it from my mind like a photo. I have an extensive vocabulary yet I have trouble put those words on paper. I have had a great career with two top corporations. Now, I run my own successful business. I know I have a handicap yet I have always found my workaround. Things can be a blessing in disguise. Thanks again, I enjoyed seeing others starting to get help at an early age.

Mike Jones That's Interesting. Several of the Sharks on Shark tank are dyslexic too.

[@susiq1121]

So why aren't we screening our children for dyslexia?

[@ga6589]

The bottom line is money. Screening entire populations of students and providing services for students who are identified would require resources that schools simply don't have. The federal government has never fulfilled its obligation of fully funding special education. In fact, qualifying for any kind of learning disability services has become more difficult over the years as the criteria is so restrictive. Many students fall through the cracks. I was a special education teacher in the 1970's-80's and there are quite a few kids I serviced back then who would never qualify now. Now retired, I volunteer as a reading tutor in my local public school. I am heartsick when I see so many students who are struggling, yet will never get the specialized help they so desperately need.

[@natashasemrau3670]

I went through school durning the same era, and my parents had to send me to special classes to learn to read. Criminals are dyslexic in high numbers because they can't fit in our computer society. So many people have deterrence to reading , and it is a career killer. Some kids have to work so hard in school. I remember my sister and brother bringing home A's, B's from school. I got notes saying Kathy needs extra help. It was not just a social hindrance, it killed my ego. But eventho it happened to me years ago, it's still happening to millions of childern. So many of those kids end up in jail, just like this news report says. It makes me so sad for all these wasted lives, and the distraction from these people's needs is shameful.

i found out i was dyslexic around the time this video was uploaded in 9th grade

[@kevinhuynh2435]

I had my teachers make fun of me cause of my reading comprehension level. To this day I rely on read aloud and audiobooks to finish a book.

What this report misses is the fundamental link between lack of phonemic awareness skills and dyslexia.

[@molldogone8250]

Jen Binkley, I think I understand what you are saying. It's like a head start before beginning to read. Actually hearing what you are about to read?

[@jenbinkley4575]

@@molldogone8250 basically- I think that when we look at reading we focus so much on print. However, before children can tackle print they have to have strong phonemic awareness skills-hearing sounds in words-etc. We know now that children who demonstrate low PA skills have a 90% of having a reading difficultly later in school. So I think it's helpful when looking at difficulty in reading to also address the need for prior skills/intervention needed before tackling the print skills.

Thanks Jen

[@bobgreen1272]

I am so sorry that OUR education system is SO SO VERY BAD!!

[@bobgreen1272]

SO, LET US ALL HOPE ""SOMEONE"" in the EDUCATIONAL FIELD will SEE this? And ACTUALLY BOND OTHERS TO DO "" SOMETHING "" !!

Feature of neurophysics; high functioning spectrum, bipolar, ocd, add, etc . It is all part of the same thing. It is equal opposite split from "neurotypical " more capable less stable paradoxical separation of what is known as human..the more alien/foreign separation features often the more intelligent too. But this won't be seen for some time..so i am wasting my time.

This is so misleading. Dyslexia is so much more than just reading difficulties.

[@carljcreighton]

believing in dyslexia is almost as stupid as believing in IQ so this makes sense to me

[@alec4672]

As somebody with bad dyslexia to me it looks like Russian or something, mainly English looking text that looks foreign. It's odd

I taught my my self to read and write, but I'm still not very good, reading is better than writing. Thanks to spell check,

[@denisestarr2314]

The brain is jumping around the all over the place

[@marialyna8102]

Here is a suggestion...Start the alphabet backwards for dyslexic students...

Another example of Media outrage!!! O the world is ending ahhhhhhhh!!!!

Mindless, useless information. We know a lot about the disparities between IQ and reading acquisition, and it is the result of an auditory processing disorder acquired when there are undiagnosed ear infections very early in life. There is also a way to remediate this problem, using text-to-speech software. All the graphs and MD's words that sounds wonderful. It's simpler than that.
