Dyslexia: Let's talk about it.

Dyslexia is:

• a learning difference that is neurological in origin

• a major societal issue, affecting 1 in 5 individuals

• a difference affecting the development of reading, writing and spelling skills

• a difference that comes with Super Powers! People with dyslexia often have intelligence in areas such as visual-spatial, emotional and creative.

Dyslexia is not:

• reading backward

• something children will "grow out of"

• an indicator of low intelligence. In fact, people with dyslexia often have above average intelligence.

• a diagnosis that means an individual cannot be successful. In fact, many of the world's most successful entrepreneurs, athletes and artists have dyslexia.
