What is Dyslexia?
You have difficulties in reading aloud, understanding what is read or spelling.
What is meant by Specific Learning Disorder?
This is the formal diagnosis for dyslexia. The “specific” means you have a problem in one area of learning (e.g. reading).
What other areas?
If you have dyslexia, you might be at risk for mathematics difficulties, writing difficulties and even attention/hyperactivity. What is often overlooked is that if you have dyslexia, you may also have low self-esteem and anxiety.
What is unique about the program at Lazarus?
We do a standardized test at the start. We can estimate your gap in terms of years. For example, if your child is 10-years old, the test may suggest he is reading at the level of 7-years old.
What recommendations for a worried parent?
Dyslexia is a specific and not general learning difficulty. So yes, your child can still go the university.
But parents might not be the best teacher, especially if you keep getting angry. Time to out-source this and preserve your relationship.
Most important element, is to keep your child’s sense of self-esteem.
