NO teachers even told me i had dyslexia but i still became the 25% that graduates. But I knew I had dyslexia in the back of my mind. The best teachers for me were the one's I could become . Because then there we the Dyslexic teachers, I imagine that also had dyslexia. My point is that my severity does things backwards. I can still read, but not in large portions, although if we dyslexics. We can do alot in a small amount of time really well. But then it snakes back. Perfect. 420

I understand that dyslexia is hereditary. My son has dyslexia, too. My son had to have extra time to do his exams to get to university. He's good as a media engineer/producer in broadcasting technology. My grandson is not too brilliant academically. However, I don't know if he's been tested for dyslexia. He's very good at performing Arts. I wasn't very good academically at school; so, I was labelled a Dunce. But, in my mid-40s at college while training for a second career in technology I found out (after a test) that I was dyslexic, too. I also had to have extra time to do my studying and exams. I'm a good computer engineer, singer-songwriter, musician and actor. On the whole; dyslexia has rendered me from achieving my true goal in life.

My mom found out when I was around 6 and only elementary school actually helped me when I hit middle school i fell threw the cracks and barely got help. I’m high school I had to personally tel some of my teacher I had dyslexia and that I had extra time and they were shocked until they looked it up. I was told I was slow my whole life

BTW, what are examples of the types of structured learning programs she is referencing around 4 minutes in? That is, if my kid has dyslexia what should I look for in terms of the curriculum and/or should I do at home to help?
