Do Your Research
Having adequate knowledge is necessary to support learning in children with dyslexia. This is why it is very important to conduct thorough research if your child has been diagnosed with dyslexia so you can understand their experience. If you understand your child’s experience, you will be equipped with enough knowledge on how to help them live with the disorder without feeling less of themselves. You can read books, attend seminars, or read articles online to learn a lot about dyslexia. You can read fact sheets from the international Dyslexia Association.
It is important to beware of quick fixes while researching. Experts recommend staying clear of any intervention that claims to treat dyslexia without any print. That is, things such as special fonts or colored lenses may cause more harm than good.
