On 4.6.2015 I first saw an article in
the internet about how dyslexics see fonts. This news was subsequently
published in many magazines and newspapers. It began to appear on Face Book and
an article also appeared in Linkedin.This continued for about a month.
Many articles related to dyslexia keep
surfacing periodically and I believe these are articles supported by some
organization with vested interest.
The first article that I saw on dyslexia fonts can be foundhere:
Subsequently, an article that appeared
in the Mirror news which can be found here states:
"Can you read the 'dyslexic font'? New typeface shows how frustrating condition is"
And then it progressed to:
"This Designer’s Typeface Lets Anyone Experience Life with Dyslexia"
Then came news in International Business Times.
The Washington Post (Blog) came up with another headline:
"Powerful images show what it's like to read when you have dyslexia"
Many other news reports continued being published for about one month.
NOW my question: Has any Dyslexia Association in the world come out and said that the above is not dyslexia? If not why haven’t they?
I have taught dyslexic students for the past 11 years and not one of them complained about not being able to see the alphabets fully.
I believe that there are organizations/people with vested interest that go about creating such news for their selfish motives.
What is next? A remedy to overcome this problem?How much will that cost?
