Remember, no one chooses to be a dyslexic. No matter if you are a teacher, parent, or peer of a dyslexic, try putting yourself in their shoes in order to develop a connection with their frustrations and grievances. They truly are different, but not deficient. In fact, dyslexic individuals are an unusually intelligent group; they don't need to be looked down upon and be given pity. What they really need is compassion: accept them for who they are, feel their perspective, and make sense of their disability. Only then, we will be able to assist them to prevail and to succeed. Once we have made this bridge of understanding, we can verbalize their inner feelings and thoughts to make others aware of this real but frustrating learning struggle, dyslexia.
