Richard Branson launches a free online school for individuals of all ages with dyslexia

[@mayadamahmoud2186]

This is amazing. Dyslexic people are always misunderstood, often overlooked and unseen. Thank you for shining a positive light on Dyslexia.

Good of him to use his power to help others

I’m 65 yrs old. I’m dyslexic. My children did not inherit this condition ,but I have two grandchildren that are dyslexic. They have learned a lot through their grandmother. It’s OK, celebrate who you are.

I have dyslexia and ADHD, Now at the age of 45 I wish I knew what my problem was when I was a kid.

Not problem, difference. Not knowing about it was the problem. ☺

He is well-known for being the most public advocate for awareness and education on dyslexia. Well down sir, well done.

[@deepressland7779]

My son is dyslexic and has struggled with it all his life. We had to have him privately diagnosed when he was 6yo, and afterwards he said to me, "well mum, at least I now know why I find reading so difficult as everything jumps about!". Broke my heart into tiny pieces knowing that he would struggle as, outside of that, he is so intelligent. However, now, he is truly creative, a great son and such a kind/beautiful person with a high level of integrity. I am an extremely proud mum.

[@lynettegardiner7670]

Thank you, it’s like you are describing my son to the tee! Still breaks my heart. I’m dyslexic too, but very intuitive which most dyslexic people are they just don’t channel it.

[@sildan1988]

At least someone does something from the heart and not for the money.

[@MailEMAIL-z5p]

Shows that his PR works. Hes a criminal thief registering his company's in tax havens to avoids paying tax in UK. Stealing $ from children's cancer hospitals, old age care & so many other services the public desperately needs. He spent tax $$ on space flights & epstein style islands. He still has Epstein style islands all over the place. Why is he obsessed with virgins? How dare these kind of obscenely rich perverts even show there face in public.

I have dyslexia,dyscalculia and dysgraphia. Wish I had this when I was going to high school from 2000-2004 and might have not flunked out of college in 2008.

[@shannon222ish]

Same I didn't quite grasp that cumulative meant every time took my algebra class (sadly multiple times bc I was determined to pass) all of my other very high grades in other classes depleted. By the time I realized I couldn't pass & was diagnosed to figure out what in the H was wrong with me that I could do SO well in other academic areas but not math.. it was too late. Tanked my GPA academic probation & that was it. My heart goes out to you as someone who can somewhat understand.

[@shannon222ish]

@mellocello187 TYSM that really means a lot ! I'm just thrilled to see anything being done to help prevent this common occurrence from continuing. It shouldn't happen to anyone. ❤️

[@MVbailegardens]

Same with a family member of mine. Left high school & took a job instead of finishing. It was soul crushing being in high school.

[@Pulsonar]

I loved arithmetic but algebraic formulae was something else. First of all it took me a terribly long time to get my head around the concept of variables during a school physics lesson. Then the maths formulae’s totally flummoxed me. I learned later in life what my main issue was- first principles. I simply cracked when I was told to use a formulae without learning how it was derived and why we just use it. This is how my brain works, I needed to know the how, why and where formulae came about otherwise the brain will shut down and not show interest in using something that I don’t know its origin and purpose. It’s a miracle that I gained qualifications in science and a Masters degree in Engineering in the end.

[@shannon222ish]

@@Pulsonar I can relate. Basic math I can do. Ppl tend to think it means I see the numbers backwards it's definitely not that way for me it's the steps & other variables my brain will continue to confuse & not process properly lol. That's such an inspiration you should be so very proud of yourself for your achievement !! That's really amazing!!

[@dennismorris7573]

Great man, Sir Richard Branson.

[@littleripper312]

I'm a young millennial and I have dyslexia and everyone knew something was wrong but even still in my day there wasn't really a plan or recognition of it. It was Richard Branson talking about it on TV that made everything click for me one day. I really struggled in school despite a strong work ethic and everything changed after I heard him talk about it and realized that's what was wrong. Knowing what the problem is alone took away a lot of the stress and anxiety and allowed me to then find ways to deal with it.

[@trustworthyjane5243]

This is a great thing he is doing, personally I would have like him create or give to elementary schools specifically to help children with dyslexia, dyscalculia and dysgraphia. My son was diagnosed with dyslexia, dysgraphia, the school never tested him or acknowledged that he had it unless the school tested him for it and they didn't have any programs at the school to test for it. I had to take him to a private agency to have him diagnosed, then in order for him to get treatment I would have had to pay out of pocket and drive to the next town over which was miles away with no transportation to take him. He never got the help he needed, and he only got to a grade 6 level.

[@GeekGamer666]

Thing is he could have done that and helped kids in one area, the UK perhaps, but with this he gives access to information to help dyslexic people of all ages anywhere that they can get access to the internet. The solution to improving access to diagnosis and supports is to get people motivated and organised to put pressure on your government representatives to fix the problems. If Branson paid for it, it would be a band aid until the money ran out. If the government fixes the problems in the system it's a cure.

[@trustworthyjane5243]

@@GeekGamer666 Please! Since when does a government care about what's best for it's people or the people of the world, so leaving it up to the government to take care of diagnoses and treatments is non sense, otherwise they would have done it by now, because people have and have been trying to get the government/educational systems to listen do something about these learning disabilities and they don't do anything about it. What he is doing is opening a University from what I am understanding, which is NOT for people of all ages, that is just helping a select few that have already been diagnosed and treated get more education.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I could weep with gratitude. About sixty five years old dyslexic just diagnosed with a s d. Left school at an early age, and it has been a huge struggle. But i've always run my own business, and i've learned really great coping skills. I'm excited to go online and find this. I'm so happy for future generations to have this kind of support. your movie 'I can't do that, but I can do this' opened doors into the world of my mind, to help me understand why I did the things I do and act like I do. And to not be afraid of my weirdness. And I will be forever grateful. I have shared that movie with dozens of people.

[@natasha1369]

I sit and do school with my son who has dyslexia, we started when covid hit. He was at the end of grade 5, then we continued because he finally could keep up with the class and there was a lot of support to read to him and scribe for him. He needed, and still does, to have an educational support worker. Something the Canadian government cut many years ago. He needs prompting, help with sentence formation on his ideas, extra explanation to understand tasks or questions, time management, constant advocacy on his behalf with school and teachers to ensure his needs are met and respected. He is now in grade 10 and still wanting to excellent. I'm very proud of him, but I stress about his future.

[@Emma-kb1qw]

[@StevefrankReinhold]

I have Dyslexia, I went to a special School for it in Williston Vermont from 1969 till 1972 when I graduated. Other students that went to that school were people like heir's to the Dupont family, Honda and my best friend Gordon Barker, of Alcoa Aluminium family. I learned to read and write and it was my best living experience as a kid growing up, but I still have Dyslexia and it's always and still is a burden on my life. But as an ol' man at 69 I am semi healthy and a happy positive guy. Peace up to all my fellow dyslexic's World wide. 🌴✌️🏄🏄🏄✌️🌴

[@GeekGamer666]

Hi, the correct word instead of "aires" is "heirs". I'm not saying that in a critical way and it's fine if you don't want to change it, I just thought I'd make the information available to you so the choice was yours. ☺

[@scribbledoodle882]

I discovered I was dyslexia at 26 after doing a word processing course and the tutor questioned my mistakes and compared me to her dyslexic son. She was very nervous about approaching me but she did and I was very grateful. I have to say I was already damaged by then. In the sense of lack of confidence and happy to do anything that would please family and those in the work environment. Jobs only lasted 6 to 9 months ending in a discussion with boss on why they were letting me go. I am now trying to succeed as an artist. This too is hard because I have not found myself in the right place at the right time. Here is hoping

We are creative in our approach to things and problem solving. To this day math and I are not friends. I worked as a psych caseworker, retail manager, art teacher, and now a writer. There are so many resources and tools out there now. We can do whatever we chose to do if left to our own devices and appreciated for seeing things differently.
