Bright Young Things
While inside my present rational state of mind I can fully understand that the DAI, like any voluntary organisation depend on membership fees to operate, and I am now a completely paid up member and have found their conferences being hugely informative, but at the beginning my thoughts were they don't want to help me.
My next move was to meet with Kade's school teacher. She was fantastic, she gave me very practical advice and informed me of the help he would receive within the school. I met with this schools Special Needs Assistant (really this title needs to be reviewed) and his first piece of advice, after a lengthy meeting with Kade was that i should tell him that they is Dyslexic.
Kade was clever enough to learn that he was different to the other kids. He knew he had been very intelligent and he was frustrated that he was not achieving the outcome that his peers accomplished.
By now I was above the upset and had gone oh no- my usual positive, proactive mode. I presented the news to him in such a positive and matter of fact way that he was relieved to know how come he was having troubles.
I didn't lie to him, I gave him the important points, I told him upright out that he must work harder than other kids just to offer the same. I also told him that i would help him holdings and liabilities way that was necessary to make sure that he achieved his comprehensive potential.
We became Kade's biggest supported, I fought for him to receive the help he must have, I agreed with him or her when in his frustrated moments he ranted approximately his teacher, I wrote answers for him when he had been just too tired to carry on, I wrote excuse notes for him to look at knew enough was more than enough and he didn't should preferably do another 20 sums.
School has been, is and always will be difficult at times for Kade, home is and always will be his soft place to help land. I never criticise, never give out, and never express disappointment in him, only in the educational system when the idea lets him down.
If your youngster is Dyslexic you will be in their corner, you have to help, support and fight for them every step of the way.

dyslexia, special educationThe word dyslexia emanates from the Greek word dys, significance "difficult" and lexis, significance "words", dyslexia is known a reading disorder. Children and adults which live with dyslexia have a difficult time reading, creating a connection with sounds and letters. Dyslexia has been proven to be hereditary. People can have serious or slight cases of dyslexia and is something you learn to reside in with throughout your lifestyle. Dyslexia cannot be cured with medication. Dyslexics are in times labeled stupid, lazy or slow but in actual fact dyslexia is neurological.
Studies have shown that dyslexics have trouble reading because they're unable to take separately the sounds of special message in words and link those sounds to characters in prints.
