October marks the beginning of Dyslexia Awareness Month. One mother is working to make people aware of the effects dyslexia has one child in their school years. Also, she is trying to shed light on many of the misconception there are out there about what dyslexia is and isn’t. There are many symptoms to look out for when concerned about dyslexia, such as low comprehension, difficulty reading and writing, and even tying shoes.

Dyslexia Awareness Month raises awareness for children with dyslexia struggling in school.

Especially the overtaxed in the school system, students with dyslexia can be forgotten about because they are considered as “just not getting it”. That is simply not the case. If you are seeing signs of transposed number and letter, phonological sounds not matching, and students struggling to make the words come out, then there is a chance that they may be dyslexic. Catching it early is the best course of action, so that students can begin receiving interventions as soon as possible.

Key Takeaways:

1
Dyslexia is widely misunderstood.
2
Undiagnosed dyslexic kids may or may not be obviously different than their peers.
3
Before getting her son tested for dyslexia Dana had no idea what it was.
