Check out this great video from BDA (British Dyslexia Association) which shows the misconceptions, challenges and talents of people with Dyslexia.
More people have Dyslexia than you might think! Estimates range from 1 in 5 to 1 in 10 of the population. It is certain to be a more than the number of people currently diagnosed.
Having Dyslexia does not mean you aren't smart or clever. In fact, it is felt that some of the smartest people in the world have Dyslexia. Dyslexic people have creative and entrepreneurial skills that are sought after in the workforce.
Dyslexia is on a continuum or spectrum, meaning that no two Dyslexics are the same. An individual may be mildly or severely dyslexic and will experience different talents and challenges.
