I came across this article today and it really hit home for me. My 11 year old daughter has multiple special needs including a learning disability and dyslexia.
At the end of the article there is a picture, with grey background and white type. That is exactly how my 11 year old daughter spells when she is writing answers or notes in homeschooling.
When you watch the video of the author and hear how well spoken and intelligent he is, it proves that people with dyslexia (and other learning disabilities) are not less intelligent then the rest , they just learn differently.
