And it is well worth remembering the degree of suffering and the degree of disability that many dyslexics experience, particularly in the school system.Rod Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12801828229505529131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10858604.post-68824921610848419002010-08-22T13:18:13.846+01:002010-08-22T13:18:13.846+01:00Great post and a useful reminder of the benefits t...Great post and a useful reminder of the benefits the dyslexic mind brings but when you throw in social disadvantage, my experience is that dyslexic children (mainly boys) rarely get the opportunity to display those strength.Morag Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09469077863480462246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10858604.post-37620864576547981712010-08-09T11:13:19.493+01:002010-08-09T11:13:19.493+01:00Thanks Bui,

However, it is in my opinion time for a more dyslexic-centred approach. And this means a ballance of focus - including strengths as well as weaknesses.<br /><br />Thanks again for your comment.Rod Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12801828229505529131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10858604.post-28154861913373866662010-08-03T00:36:10.886+01:002010-08-03T00:36:10.886+01:00Indeed a very interesting post...
