Dyslexia Support Advice

Many things affect your child’s self esteem. It is how they perceive others view them that have an effect on them

At his age, the most important “others” are you and your husband, followed by the teacher and his peers. If you can show them how much you believe in them, it would be a good start. You are part of the Dyslexia Support system.

It is tremendous help for your child if they can think both parents believe in them. The place where dyslexia support starts is when both parents and child can acknowledge that there is much work ahead into developing the required reading level. But that he’s just as likely to succeed in life as those without dyslexia since he’s just as bright and talented.

Help by assuring them that the dyslexia is just a hiccup on the journey. Make sure to tell your child that there are even known worldwide people like Walt Disney, Henry Ford, and even Albert Einstein who were Dyslexic.

More Dyslexia Support Tips:- * Contact Teachers. Your child’s teacher may even talk to the other children about it in school so that the other children learn about the disorder. There are many disorders and dyslexia is just one of them….no one is ever ashamed to say that they are allergic to peanuts or need gluten-free food.

* Provide assistance. Make sure he gets help in school and out of school. He needs to be taught using methods that work specifically for dyslexia. Hopefully, the school will be able to provide these services. If not, look into changing to a more supportive school.

* Seek Dyslexia Support. If feasible, seek dyslexia support from tutors who are experts. Contact the International Dyslexia Association for more information.

* Talk about dyslexia. Get things out in the open about Dyslexia. Explain to people in your child’s life that dyslexia is not a disease or reading backwards or a an absense of intelligence as was once thought.

* Talk to him about the challenge he faces everyday and listen to how he deals with it. If you need some help in this area, which is understandable, look for a person whom you can turn to for help, perhaps the school psychologist, the reading specialist or an authority outside the school.
