Can dyslexia be cured?

                                                               

Note: I have a Teaching Certificate in Dyslexia obtained in July 2005. So, don’t listen to anyone saying otherwise. Why do people lie about things they don’t know is beyond me. There is a Tamil proverb for this exact thing. Keep one’s large mouth shut to avoid getting in trouble. A not so polite version is, 'Don’t open your big mouth and get your backside hurt.'

From all that I have read since I started researching dyslexia, I understand that there is no cure for dyslexia. There is no cure for exactly what I am not sure. They say dyslexia is a lifelong issue.

It is said that the brain has trouble processing what it reads, especially breaking words into sounds or relating letters to sounds when reading. This is the only aspect that I am concerned with.

The Dyslexia con game continues

 

Dyslexia proponents will do whatever they can to con the public into believing dyslexics have a problem reading because of phonological processing.

Recently, DrJulie Safri wrote the following on Facebook:

Get the Right Support:

Programs designed specifically for dyslexia, like a structured literacy approach, are incredibly helpful.

Luqman Michel

What right support? If a kid can't read teach him to unlearn the wrong sounds of letters he was taught and teach him the correct sounds and he will read in no time.

Further thoughts: Researchers who have studied dyslexia for over 5 decades like Julian Elliott and the doctors he interviewed said that no one knows how to differentiate a dyslexic from a non-reader. They have confirmed that there is no different way to teach a dyslexic than other non-readers.
