"The label dyslexia means that I was born with a different memory set up I guess. It is not a disability, it is a way people categorize people who are different from the general population."
~ Alexander, Age 17 Why The Book Was Written
"Our story of living with a son with dyslexia is not unique although it has certainly felt that way on more than one occasion. At these times I often wished we had more access to the knowledge gained by other parents in a similar situation; how they felt and what they had learnt. Some reassurance that all would be well would also have been welcome." |
