Positive News about Dyslexia - 02/08/12 12:56 AM
Here’s a recent piece from The New York Times: "The Upside of Dyslexia"
The article mentions a Laboratory for Visual Learning at the
Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. They are looking at how dyslexics view space data in a superior way (more gestalt, better at finding patterns, etc.) ... so cool and interesting!
Nice to have positive news about the real strengths of dyslexia; the weaknesses can be so obvious:)
I also greatly enjoyed The Eide's book The Dyslexic Advantage.
Anyone else have positive resources they enjoyed?
