News from the web:

A kickstarter project that aims to produce a documentary named:”Embracing Dyslexia”.

In the directors words:

Embracing Dyslexia focuses on why it is important for educators and parents to know what dyslexia is and what it isn’t. We will learn what the tell-tale signs are and why screening for dyslexia early in a struggling reader’s life and being diagnosed is so important. We will hear from dyslexic children and their parents about the struggles they faced and the successes they’ve had after being diagnosed. Experts in the field of dyslexia will share the reasons why being diagnosed is only half the battle. We’ll see how some schools have taken the initiative and created classroom environments where dyslexic children can flourish. And we will visit with adults who have embraced their dyslexia and become quite successful.

News from the web:

Apparently having a Dyslexia certification is a hot property these days with a hospital in Athens revealing a scam where a former employee produced fake certifications. People believe the certificates will either exempt their kids from exams, provide them with government benefits or other positives. This practice does not help the kids with real dyslexia as it will create a bias against the disability and make it even more difficult to get schools to provide facilities to overcome the problems that come with having Dyslexia.
