Show Notes
“Dyslexia robs a person of time; accommodations return it.” –Dr. Sally Shaywitz
Learning to Read is hard enough as it is, right? But what if your child also has a language processing disorder? And how would you know?
Today I am talking with Lindsay Terry-Lloyd founder of the non-profit Klimb Consulting (www.klimbconsulting.org) a bay-area based company dedicated to helping parents navigate a dyslexia diagnosis. In this episode, Lindsay shares her own family’s story as well as tips on identifying dyslexia and living with dyslexia while maintain your child’s confidence.
Things I never knew until this interview:
* 20 percent of the population is dyslexic
* A Dyslexia diagnosis can range from mild to severe
* While dyslexics do struggle with reading, dyslexia comes with identifiable positive attributes such as extraordinary building and/or drawing talents
Recommended Resources:
* For a list of signs and additional information, check out the Yale Center for Dyslexia (dyslexia.yale.edu)
* Recommended Therapy Modalities:
* Orton Gillingham
* Slingerland (Assessment as well)
* Wilson
