Wow before we detected my daughter had dyslexia we both were in tears everyday until we started getting the resources Available . I’m so thankful!!

Great film!

I went from not being able to read to reading books like an addict haha i love that we can do that.

Don’t depend on the teachers. They have no clue what they are doing anyway with dyslexic students or adhd students. I’ve been there Little buddy. I turned out ok. Never stop believing in yourself because people have problems. Depend on yourself and Jesus My friend.

ADHD dyslexia for 53 years and it sucks. Graduated in 1989 tried college left after 4 months. I know I’m extremely intelligent, due to my ability to see through the holes my bosses mistakes show through. So when you constantly correct your boss and fix their problems they get worried and fire you. It happens all the time.

Dreama ❤

It hurt so bad I give up trying to learn. I wish I hadn't but I did yet. These two people right here are making me feel very good about myself because we're in the same age group

That sounds like what I had to go through light. I had to fight through school because I was dumb

That is me I wish left to defend for myself

'promosm' 😆

I am from Australia, and i can totally relate to your story. I had no intervention at school. 2 years behind at school. Only found out at 50. I cry with happiness when i found out. It is too late for me, still upset me of how I struggled at school. Got teased at school and low self-esteem teenage years. Very happy now. Love life.

I am dyslexic. I was diagnosed in the third grade. In the 8th grade I was given a certificate that said I no longer had dyslexia because I could read. No help was given after that. I was not allowed to play sports because my grades were bad. I was also not allowed to go on class trips or dances. I really hated school and teachers who blamed me for their inability to teach. When my kids went to school, I saw the same thing happening to them. Almost no improvements in the education system in over 40 years, probably longer because I am pretty sure my mom had dyslexia as well. I pulled my kids out of the school system because,I think the damage done to a child’s self esteem is the worst thing in the world and I would not allow it to happen to my kids.

There is nothing more heart wrenching than seeing a really smart child, so observant and aware of its surroundings, with such a sharp mind, struggling so much.

My manager is dyslexic and I had to adapt and actually become like him so he will not feel inférior to me and the mirrowing behaviour was kind of surprise for him cause he was trying to express his mi contentement while I softly told him that I was just doing like him) he had nothing to say...) still it takes effort to adapt to this kind of functioning

In third grade, I had a teacher that told me in front of my entire class that I was stupid she then sent me to the corner of the classroom. I assume she did that so I wouldn't taint the other students. The sad thing is that I believed her. In middle school, I wanted to be in normal classes. My principal told me that I was not smart enough to be in those classes and wouldn't be able to learn with the other students. Sadly I ended up believing her as well. It is tough going through school with teachers who don't understand dyslexia. Sad to think that there are so many young kids going through the same thing right now.

Also my mom would get so mad if I don't ask for help but not my fault I was trying to ask for help but she always says alahnie do you need help I'm like stop asking in I dang need help so I starting crying and she's just mean and I never even tould my mom that everyday I struggle because I think about my dyslexia all day but when I'm having fun I don't and I wish my helping teachers don't say look he's asking for help also is it just me or do y'all teachers say do you need help and I say I'm done I litey have to say I'm done three feacking times I never tell my mom because I'm to scared too.

My mom tould me it when I was 8 years old I try not to cry I was so heart broken and my sisters say well alahnie why don't you know how to spell this I feel so sad also I never stop thinking about it

I love being a Dyslexia Therapist. I love working with these kids. I learn more from them than they do from me. They make me a better Therapist every time.

What an inspiration this family and teacher are, you go guys!!!

I remember being in 5th grade and only being able to read at a 1st grade level then I got to high school and anytime I struggle to read they would say it’s because I need glasses which I did but that wasn’t the reason I couldn’t read it literally took til 12 grade for a new teacher to tell me I was definitely dyslexic but it’s not bad anymore and now it mostly effects spelling and remember but I still have some struggles with reading

Wish they had some of these programs 70 years ago - life would have been so much better for me and others like me. I still made it through college and grad school - but man was it a lot of very hard work.

omg I can relate. I was told by my English teacher that the only job I'd be able to do was a garbo (garbage collector)! I'm female...

Teachers can scar you more than anything.

Being Dyslexic myself I totally understand what it's like to struggle with normal things and the need to be "normal", the only issue I have is how Dyslexia is described - "having", "diagnosed", are common when someone describes either being Dyslexic or in a clinical environment by non-dyslexic people. You are either born Dyslexic or not, there is no "have", using the word "diagnosed" puts Dyslexia in a clinical medical context which is wrong. Being born Dyslexic makes life hard right from that start. Even when you develop ways to cope with the non-dyslexic world those struggles don't just vanish. I'm in my mid 40's and despite having a masters degree (which is a big achievement for me) I still struggle and wonder what it would be like to be "normal" and not have to constantly deal with the daily challenges of being Dyslexic in a non-dyslexic world, it's exhausting.

It's irony that dyslexic ideas, inventions and enterprise has hugely benefited the humanity but in budding stage of they are labelled as stupid, dumb and useless. This inhuman and shallow system of evaluation cannot be changed by the educationists who are not dyslexic. Let the dyslexic educationists come forward to design the curriculum.

In one month I will be 39 years old. I just found out I am dyslexic. At no time has it ever been hinted to me that I was. I passed highschool with a c- in English. A decade after highschool I had my IQ tested professionally a few times scoring 137 and 143 IQ I always thought I was dumb. I am and have been reasonably successful in life yet felt like I slipped through the cracks.

My son is dyslexic...short term memory. And ADHD.....had his eyes tested, when reading he was eyes were jumping letters ...so I had to do eye exercises that were given to him ... And what helped him tremendously was colored lenses he got yellow after a battery of tests.....he also attended MARIA MONTESSORI ..their system was visual and allowed my son to catch up and improve his reading writing at his own pace

I have dyslexia in school I had no friend because I unable to read book they thought I am dum I talk very less in college also I had no friend my life is very lonely but I done my graduation slow lonely and right In job I am also facing same problem.

This is pretentious wank made by non dyslexics.

At least they had understanding mothers

I started crying while watch... still i have not find a good teacher to guide .... i am full of fear dyslexic .... finaly i sart share this with 4 people bt every one toll just move on ... don't overthink... bt i ask them to guide bt 3 people are failed ... my girl try more things to make over and last she also messed up with my problem ....

''I want something, so bad. But it's just not for me'' That! Right there!

I feel for these parents. I found out today that my daughter is dyslexic. ❤

Remember being put in special ed class and always being told I was dumb or stupid

im dyslexic and a.d.d and i went through the same thing. Being put in classes with kids with extreme physical handicaps and called dumb, and/or lazy by teachers. It gave me an attitude torward anything to do with school so i became the class clown. Anyways great video and thanks for sharing.

I'm dyslexic and a big telco manager with 100 employees under my wing. They know I struggle in spelling and missing written words and they see these on my emails. I think they just got used to it. But it's still a struggle (embarrassing) until now.

I have another comment somewhere, but I wanted to say that I'm embarrassed to have dyslexia and ADD. I have ever only told my most recent employer that I have it, and only a few teachers in middle school knew I had it. Now I'm learning so much about both. I wouldn't have ever guess both are so abundant. I still don't want people to really know, but since opening up to it with my managers, I have also opened up to many of my co-workers....and they have probably spoken to each other since then. Anyway, it is who I am and now that I'm learning so much about them I am feeling a little more comfortable.

I feel very fortunate. I was diagnosed with ADD and mild dyslexia. My teachers never expressed any negativity toward me, but I was in a developmental reading class for 2 years (7th and 8th grade) where we essentially read about 10 pages the entire year. With that being said, from Elementary school to getting my BBA in Marketing, any time I was called to read aloud I was hit with the same feeling you get when you do something you know is wrong and get caught. I would always try to estimate when I was going to be called, so I'd count the paragraphs ahead (when the teacher went in order) and pre-read the paragraph I will be reading in a few minutes. I still have problems reading slowly and incorrectly. Which is surprising since I can type 64+ words a minute. When I was taking some IT classes I would type everything the teacher said verbatim....but I wouldn't go back and read it. Would have been better if I had just recorded it with audio. One day she caught me typing and asked what I was doing...she though I was on some social media site. I told her and she said, "nah, I don't believe it. Really what are you doing?" I said I was really typing 95%+ of what she was saying (she was from the North so I couldn't get every word). So I read it back to her and she was surprised. I ended up with a D in the class (which was good enough since it was the final class)... But I helped everyone else pass. :) It was at a technical college at that time (after I got a 2 year AA in Art and before I went to a university to get my BBA in Marketing). I have ALWAYS been a C student. So when someone said, "great job getting on the Dean's list!" , I had to ask "what's the Dean's list?" and they explained. I was surprised but I had already been introduced to a lot of the stuff in the college where I got my AA....the difference was that the technical college provided hands on experience....so everything I learned (getting a C on) in books was actually applied and made total since because I could see it in action. Oh, and other than 7th and 8th grade no one was ever told about my dyslexia, and no one was ever told about my ADD. I JUST told my recent employer (i work at an awesome overpaying grocery store with phenomenal benefits as i am working on my Real Estate Broker Locense) bc I was getting written up several times for not staying on task. I finally told one of my managers (1st person/company ever) that I have ADD...and while I was telling the manager that, I also told them that "and if my till comes up wrong it's because I have dyslexia". (Been here for a year and no problems with the till !!) **sorry for the long comment**

You can do it don”t let anyone say you can”t god bless you and your beautiful family.

We all need to be advocating for Orton Gillingham across the entire United States Department of Education ... That's it.. Susan Barton. Our Angel.

Orton-Gillingham reading intervention is the ONLY THING THAT WILL WORK. Period.

Any teacher belittling a child over any subject, clearly needs more teacher training themself or doesn't need to be teaching. Bullying is a set back in humanity! Stopping the bullying, means taking a step forward TOGETHER. Which I believe is rewarded by our higher power! Respect is 🔑

As a child i never saw letters backwards. I got d and b confused but thats different .
