Procrastination and Dyslexia

Posted on by

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!”

Jay Lenno is also someone who made it to a very rich and successful showhost  who came in the news this week by giving up voluntarily some $5 million of his salary to save jobs of his crew.

This is another positive side of people with dyslexia, the capability to think beyond one’s own needs and wants!

No Dyslexia support downunder

Posted on by

News from the web:

Read today’s story about the lack of support for Dyslexia assessments and treatments. It is by now a proven fact that the early recognition of Dyslexia and early intervention are key  in improving the results at a later age. It is mind boggling to hear that still now in this day and age there is a lack of recognition by some governments. What are these people doing? How can they ignore the mountain of research and documentation?
