What is Dyslexia?
'Dys' means 'difficulty' and 'lexia 'means 'words'. Dyslexia is a disorder that affects millions of people all over the world. It is one type of specific learning disability that affects a person's ability to read.

A Dyslexic learns at his/her own level and pace, and typically excels in one or more other areaa. Some of their experiences include difficulties with concentration, perception, memory, verbal skills, abstract reasoning, hand-eye coordination, social adjustment (low self-esteem is a commonly observed behavioral characteristic), poor grades, and underachievement. Often, people with Dyslexia are considered to be lazy, rebellious, class clowns, unmotivated, misfits, or of low intelligence. These misconceptions, without understanding dyslexia's effect on the person's life, lead to rejection, isolation, feelings of inferiority, discouragement, and low self-esteem.

From the International Dyslexia Asscociation

Letter Reversals (INTERESTING???)
Letter reversals are not common to all who have learning challenges. However, recent research suggests that dairy products are a common cause of this situation. Students who consume cow's milk, cheese and ice cream often exhibit the symptoms of letter reversals, confusing the letters "b", "d", and "p" with one another.

The solution to letter reversals? Eliminate dairy products from the student's diet for two weeks. Substitute a product like "Rice Dream", which is a cow's milk substitute based on rice, not soy. It contians vitamin B12, which helps maintain healthy nerve cells and red blood cells, and is also needed to make DNA, the genetic material in all cells. If a noticeable change has occurred after two weeks of this test, your student should eliminate dairy products from his or her diet, and may be allergic to dairy products as a whole.
