1. What is dyslexia?
2. Oklahoma passed the Dyslexia screening bill that is now in effect this year. What was this bill designed for? What doesn't it do?

 

My daughter is dyslexic -  Remediation was killing her love of learning. If you aren't careful, you get people’s minds thinking more about failure prevention. Cheating was my method of this…than about making it bigger, better, more peaceful, more astounding.  

Interventions - 

You're not broken, but you're not amazing yet. So we play to her strengths and manage around her weaknesses. I try to leave space for her to make her mistakes and to model what it is I am doing. 

This is soooo far from what I thought I would be doing at her age.

• Presenting with visuals
• Video production
• Why don’t you show me

I didn’t know or find out I was dyslexic until I was in my late 30’s. But I knew my weaknesses long before then. I am a doer. I will get my hands dirty and do all kinds of heavy lifting, but I also found that surrounding myself with people that were smarter than me in the areas I was weak was necessary.
