IF this is true, then one would assume that dyslexia could be corrected through special teaching methods.

There are times when I do misread things. See words that are not there.

In Churchill case, it was cured by Churchill. He couldn’t do Latin so he did English. As for teaching methods, one problem is that most teachers can only play to the strengths of students who are most like the teacher.

There are successful programs for this. Austin has the Dyslexic Learning Center that has helped a lot of kids over the years.

It can and is, Methods started long ago by French researchers do wonders in treating dyslexia, and have started in the last few years to be incorporated by some in the United States with much success.

I just saw a report on this stuff not all that long ago.

Dyslexia occurs in all cultures and regions, though english and french seem to have worse times than other languages studied, the belief is that the languages are more complex, while English may only have 40 sounds, it has countless ways to spell many of the same sounds... if you have issues with the associating sounds with visual queues that represent them, this would make the effects certainly more pronounced in languages such as English.

I don’t agree with this Doctor that dyslexia does not exist at all. He’s welcome to his opinion, but I don’t agree with it at all.
