Dyslexia and exam assistance

Dyslexia; News from the web:

Today’s link provides an insight in the trouble parents in New Zealand have to get their dyslectic children the help they need and deserve for sitting their exams.

Still with many schools there is a lack of accommodations and an underestimation of the hard work children with learning disabilities have to put  in just to keep up with the class work. To deny them help in sitting the exams is unfair and we should all raise the awareness and ensure we keep these things in mind when voting for school boards and other representatives.

Procrastination and Dyslexia

Dyslexia; News from the web:

On Dyslexia the gift blog, there is a great story that references a blog by the grammerly blog that explains procrastination, the reasons for it and some helpful tips. The blog goes on then to spell out the relation between dyslexia and procrastination and it will be very recognizable.

This quote will make clear how the procrastination works for our target group:

“My problem was that if I started a project by making a list, sometime I got so caught up in making the list, I’d forget about the project. And then I would revise the list, or decide to create a new list from scratch, or simply lose the list and have to start over. Rather than making headway, making lists became an additional mechanism for delay.  One with the added benefit at least allowing me to pretend I was making progress.  I hadn’t even begun the task… but look, I made a list!”
