Dyslexics often face frustration, embarrassment, and feelings of inadequacy
Dyslexia, a learning difference that affects reading, writing, and spelling, can bring about a range of emotions for individuals at school and in the workplace. In the academic setting, they struggle to keep up with their peers in reading and written assignments. They may experience anxiety about reading aloud or participating in class discussions, fearing judgment or criticism. Dyslexics may also encounter challenges in following written instructions and organizing their thoughts coherently, which can hinder their academic performance. Similarly, in the professional realm, dyslexic individuals may confront difficulties with written communication, proofreading, and processing large amounts of text. These struggles can lead to self-doubt, diminished confidence, and a fear of being perceived as less capable by their colleagues and superiors.
“Dyslexia is a different brain organization that needs different teaching methods. It is never the fault of a child but rather the responsibility of us who teach to find methods that work for that child” – Dr. Maryanne Wolf
