For the Dyslexic Learner
"Why the need for a label?"
I've been asked by many parents whether there is any benefit of having the 'label' of dyslexia. My answer is yes, absolutely!
'Lazy' 'Easily distracted' 'Just not that bright' 'Can't be bothered'
These are some of the descriptions I've heard about children who are later found to be dyslexic. A diagnosis helps teachers and parents understand why the pupil is struggling and most importantly helps the child to understand that they are not 'lazy' or 'thick'; they just learn differently.
