Dyslexia- My e-mail to Dyslexia Scotland

 

This article is in response to the comment by Liz Ditz on my article dated 21.8.2010.

She had written, “I am not sure why you haven't received responses to your letters of inquiry”.

I am not sure either and I leave it to you, my readers, to see if you have any idea why I do not get a response to similar letters written to Dyslexia Associations, Research Universities, and other Government institutions.

One of my readers from Scotland, Alan Gurbutt, commented on my article on 29.4.2010. You may read the full comment here: http://www.parentingdyslexia.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Dyslexia - A multi- billion US dollar business

 

Dyslexia is a multi-billion US dollar per annum business. Billions are spent on research into dyslexia, therapy, brain imaging, drugs, tuition, salaries for all the people working in all kinds of organizations involved in things related to dyslexia and many other things purportedly said to do with dyslexia. As such it is obvious why organizations will make dyslexia sound like a disease that can only be cured or treated with great expense.

Dyslexia- A convenient term for reading difficulties in general

 

Following my last article, I would say that there is no reason why most dyslexics cannot read well with the right instruction.

People often accept dyslexia as an incurable disease. From my experience of teaching dyslexic students, I have found that all my dyslexic students can read if taught in a way suitable for them.
