Learning Success Helps parents work with their children to overcome learning disabilities. Specializing in specific learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, ADD, and ADHD
If you just remove the iep, then they get suspended. we are in the middle of a fight with the school right now. They are letting him fall through the cracks because he has a disability. He in his 2nd year of kindergarten because the school just wants to send him home because they are understaffed, but that's not the kids' fault, and it's the law he gets an education. They dont get to send him home because he has a disability. They said they have a bunch of other kids on iep's so they cant send him back to his occupational therapist when he gets upset. So now the next meeting will be with are layers
Yes very true... especially the last bit. I had a hearing test when I was little because they thought I was deaf 😂 also Dyslexia affects so much more than reading.
I found out in my "old age" that I have Dyscalculia. It's a dyslexia where you cannot understand mathematics. I got good grades in English, science/biology, art, geography, etc. I couldn't devide half of five in third grade, I remember my father yelling at me, and my teachers saying I didn't pay attention. In high school, my boyfriend did my math and I helped him in English. College entrance exam was a nightmare. Thank goodness for calculators to balance a checkbook.
When i got diagnosed they didnt specify which tipe of dysgraphia and dyscalculia i had but i think this is what i have for dysgraphia. Also, my fingers hurt a lot after writing but my parents wonr but me the pen grip or whatever its called bcs they dont believe me when i say it hurts BUT I LITERALLY GOT DIAGNOSED LAST YEAR !
When i was a kid i used to write very slowly, and super messy and when i couldnr write a word corrwctly i would make a mess by scribbling over it. now i grew up and i need to write faster but that only makes me more messy :(
My great Aunt who was an Infant School Headmistress in the 50s diecoved my dyslexia. Why or how she picked up on it I don't know. All I knew was on one visit she asked me to read to her, I was in grade 3 at the time. From reading to her for a bit she recognised my learning problem immediately. She got in touch with the Headmistress at my school and slowly my school developed a Dyslexia class that was know as a 'special reading class'. First up my teacher would send me off to the Headmistress's Office where I would sit on the floor reading to her while she worked at her desk. Sometime during that year we had a special class for reading. I wasn't on my own, it was surprising how many others were found once my problem was diagnosed. I guess I had the easiest time because my great Aunt had found mine dyslexia problem. As it came from the Headmistress, my class teacher must have dealt with the issue of telling the class when I was sent to the Headmistress 's Office, as I never once got bullied or teased over the fact. Even to day at 71, I still need to read out loud in my head. Year 3 was tough for me as I also suffered from debilitating migraines which meant trips to the nurses office or sent home. They couldn't say reading had anything to do with it as my migraines start at age 3 I started getting migraines that resulted in three days of vomiting, light and sound sensitivity along with debilitating pain in my head. My best friend wore alot of flack because of me as she was the one who had to get me home when they started during school hours. I would sit on her bike with my eyes closed while she wheeled me home. A part from reading In also reverse or flipped numbers. Surprisingly was recognised and shown my problem and how to cope, most of my adult work life was spent working with numbers and money, very successfully. At 7 at school it was diecovered I was short sighted and required glasses. I am unsure if it was due to my issue or not but our entire Primary school had their eyes tested at school. I never asked my Aunt but I was fairly certain she was responsible for that also. From having to work really hard in my first seven years of Primary school I went on to becoming top of my class in First year High school, in all subjects. When I think back, my life has been constant pain. I found out about migrain medication by default fifty years after my migrains started. They couldn't say a three year old had stress or deny I had any triggers as in food, they had no choice but to except the fact.
I'm pretty sure I have all of those kinds of dyslexia. I always just put them together as one thing and didn't realise they had their own names as well.
I grew up being told I was dyslexic. visual type I would often get b&d mixed up. I would have issues with which and witch. etc.. but I have always tested at an advance comprehension level.. even to the point of being accused multiple times of cheating. later in life I found out that I have aphantasia.. the inability to picture things in my mind.. also unable to have an internal voice. I question weather I have dyslexia now or if it's the Aphantasia. Looking back so much of my life was impacted by my aphantasia, that I would not be supprised if this was the case.
I told a work colleague that he might be dyslexic and why...he was elated and said a weight has been lifted of his shoulders. Super powers are real. We are awesome.
When you asked us to memorize “Ff4J8p6,” I did it in an entirely auditory way: by singing the uppercase letters loudly on a high pitch and the lower-case letters softly on a low pitch. P. S.: I’m dyslexic, so I knew it would be a problem if I didn’t use some such kind of gimmick,
This was super helpful! Note to people watching: be aware of other learning disabilities you/ your child could have in conjunction with dyslexia. For example, at first I was connecting to phonological dyslexia but then she got to the trait of having poor vocab. I’ve actually always had an impressive vocabulary since I was very little, but I struggle with auditory processing. I relate perfectly with visual dyslexia though. The thing is im also autistic and have APD (auditory processing disorder). Autism most likely contributes to my high vocabulary, and apd to my auditory processing difficulty. While I can never really be sure what trait is caused by what it can help when determining other diagnoses and/or subtypes. Hope this helps!
And not one mention of dyscalculia. I excelled at every other subject in school, neither my parents nor teachers, much less myself could figure out why my math scores were totally abysmal. I was 30 before I figured it out on my own. I'm mildly dyslexic with language skills, but only with great effort have I managed to get a handle on math, and it's not the concept of math... it's flipping numbers and even operations.
Was not diagnosed until aged 12 and only by chance. Back in the 1950's there was no real treatment. No one could figure out how I could snswer sny question orally but could not spell to save my soul and always read zigzag down a page then back up again. Seems I had what they cslled global comprehension without actually reading all words. I am one of those tupes that can read anything no matter how badly it is spelt or evrn the order of words does not really matter. In highschool and university I let every teacher and professor know my rsther unusual style. I always lost 5 marks for spelling but most generously tried to maje those 5 marks up with extrs marks for content. Slso I got marks for answers when I could identify page and paragraphs where the complete answer could be found. Sometimes I could not remember central sylables but got the first and last ones. Often put the definition in brackets. Was not docked. Always needed a spell checker for essays. Thank goodness I was a professional musician. Could play any instrument except very large ones. At 3 could resd piano music but numbers were always a conundrum. At 78 it just bugs me but I garnered lots of uni degrees as many were done orally like acoustical physics or pedagogy . Go figure? Also my writing hsnd was switched from left to right at age 5. 😮
I am 17 years old and I am watching this on my own, and I feel very bad that my parents failed to recognize and even if they knew it they ignored it😢 plz help your kids or help yourself it's not to late
I have known two people in my life growing up that were spatially dyslexic and cannot tell left from right so I was wondering if that is also a type of dyslexia
There are other interesting aspects that happened to a dyslexic such as things jumping forward in space. ❤❤❤ thank you for this video I am 70 in this almost made me cry because I've struggled with this all my life. I have a mild form and I also have a slight astigmatism in my right eye and that doesn't help
Thank you for this! I'm a teacher, and a mom, and I have been trying to instill this and my students and kids as well! Thank you so so much for really detailing how critical it is!
Uhm, now I'm really confused... I started to read and write at 4 years old, and used a typewriter at 5. ...But when I read out loud, it just doesn't come out as I know that it should. Since I'm Swedish, I use å, ä and ö, but sometimes when I write, my brain messes things up and makes a non-existent letter that looks like an o with the ring from the "å" on top (so basically just two rings 😅). I have always contributed these things to my dyscalculia and ADHD, but this really made me wonder 🤔
Thanks to dyscalculia, I've never earned a diploma or a masters or bachelors degree! Right now, I would've been a physician or a lawyer, I feel like a loser because of this condition 😢
What on earth are you talking about? 🙁 Edit: At 8 seconds before the end of the video she said: "Stress and anxiety". This is a ridiculous way to present information: it makes viewers think that they are stupid or that they must have missed relevant info earlier in the video. The worst part is that YOU KNOW that your audience is likely to have attention and/or processing issues: this is also a very common technic used to gaslight people into thinking that they were told something that they hadn't been. I am now so stressed that I regret having ever clicked on your content. You really ought to redo this video as it reflects badly on you. 😒
We've spent decades working with children on this and have seen the results. But parents constantly asked us how we did it. So we saw the need and how much good it could do
Just saw this video. WOW!!! It’s an eye opener!!! I been struggling with my nine year old. He is in public school and no teacher, psychologist, and specialist ever told me this. Now I see. Thank you!!!
