So I just found out that you can not have dyslexia and ADD. Which I thought was really strange because I always thought you could. I think that we are quick to say oh the child has ADD. What we fail to realize is that child just might not be motivated. All children get fidgety from time to time and it is important to let them move around or get up and then refocus. I found that very interesting.
Some other facts for thought: one in seven Americans has a learning disability such as dyslexia; students with dyslexia are often very artistic. Check Dyslexia Awareness for some interesting facts at Dyslexia Resource Center.
In my previous post Signs and Symptoms I talked about some of the warning signs that can be related to dyslexia. This website on the Dyslexia Syndrome breaks it down on a more academic/non-academic level. It divides it into 11 categories including balance, coordination and self-esteem as well as reading, writing, math and speech. These categories help you understand a little more of how dyslexia affects an individual. That website is The Dyslexic Syndrome.
