What color are your lights????

Dyslexia is a different for everyone that has it. Why? Mainly because no one person is alike, even twins. The outward appearance might be the same but the brain could process data completely different.



               NORMAL                                                                         DYSLEXIA

I like to explain Dyslexia to outsider with a funny but useful example. Imagine if you wrapped only one side of a Christmas tree with white lights... left or right side doesn't matter.... this is basically how a so called "normal brain processes data. Using one side mainly over the other. Now take the same tree and put colored lights randomly all over left, right, top and bottom parts of the tree. Turn on just the white lights and you see how the brain lights up in a "normal person". Lets see what a Dyslexic brain looks like; Turn on the colored lights and you will see the huge difference.

What color are your lights????

The problem the teachers or school system says isn't you nor is it your child it's the way the data is received!    Teachers that teach to only one side of the brain or as my example showed one side of the tree... what happens to the second side, the side with no lights.

Both sides are used by a Dyslexic person which means the traditional approach to teaching student new material in the school system do not work...If 70% of the students learn the material but 30% don't are we not failing those students!!!

I was 16 years old when I had finally learned I was in fact Dyslexic and the only saving grace I had was a program called " Wilson".
