How does it feel?

Most Dyslexics have problems with reading, writing and short-term memory; a combination of all or some and in varying degrees. Until recently children who struggled with these conditions were often labelled slow, lazy or disruptive. Many suffer from lack of self esteem, confidence and become humiliated and frustrated because they are normally bright, quick and gifted individuals who cannot seem to work in the written and reading world at the same pace as their other classmates. We need to support them, to build their confidence & self esteem.

"It is a lonely existence to be a child with a disability which no-one can see or understand, you exasperate your teachers, you disappoint your parents, and worst of all you know that you are not just stupid."

Susan Hampshire Past President The Dyslexia Institute.
