what is dyslexia?
dyslexics have many different traits, here are a few of the signs that your brain processes information differently.
​
-
we spell words with extra or fewer letters than they're supposed to have.
-
we can read slowly or very quickly but our brains still don't want to retain that information
-
our minds wander and imagine instead of paying attention
-
we don't like distinguishing left from right; both directions are great!
-
we like to have verbal direction given to us one at a time or written down instead.
-
our brains are too busy being creative to listen for a long time
-
can experience low self-esteem if we find out later in life that we don't think conventionally.
there are many screening tests and checklists that can be found online to help you know where you sit on the dyslexia scale, however to get a formal diagnosis you will have to get a diagnosis assessment from a certified assessor.
