As a teacher, it's important to be aware of any barriers your students have when it comes to their learning. For disorders like dyslexia especially, the signs and symptoms can be easily misinterpreted as another issue. This video gives examples of what to look for in a student when suspecting he or she may have dyslexia. 

The video also gives information for families, and especially what dyslexia isn't -- it's not caused by vision problems, it does not affect how a person thinks, and it does not interfere with grasping complex ideas.
