#dyslexia Please read .....The emotional and psychological impact of poorly supported dyslexia Report from the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Dyslexia and o...ther SpLDs Between 10 to 15 percent of people have dyslexia. This means that dyslexia is the most common specific learning difference, effecting between 6.6 and 9.9 million people in the UK and between 800,000 and 1.3 million young people in education1. Whilst dyslexia is not directly linked to emotional or mental health issues, failing to diagnose dyslexia early, and inadequate support both academic and emotional during education and beyond leads often to a short and long term human cost of dyslexia. Drawing on the work of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Dyslexia and other Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs), this report explores the extent of the psychological impact dyslexia is having on people with dyslexia and their families in the UK. This report also makes recommendations on how to improve the provision to directly and indirectly reduce the emotional and mental health issues discussed.

A nice visual depicting the differences between the sensory needs of kids!

Why do bright children keep guessing words, instead of reading them? So frustrating, isn't it? David Morgan discusses the reasons for this pattern and suggests some solutions.

Hello everyone! Given the situation we are facing, I put together seven academic and movement packets to send home to students, parents, teachers etc. I thought... it would be easiest if I posted them on my website. This way you could refer parents or teachers to the website as well. I am an occupational therapist who develops hands-on learning resources. Simply go to the home page (www.KidsMasterSkills.com) and you will see a sign-up that says "Download your FREE Take-Home Packets here". It will send you an automatic e-mail that will have links to all of the packets. It seems to be working . . . so fingers crossed! (But check your SPAM if it doesn't come through.) This does sign you up to my newsletter automatically, but if you are not interested in this you can always unsubscribe, no problem. The packets include: 1- Pencil Control, 2- Fry's First 100 Sight Words and Fine Motor/Visual Skills, 3- Writing Practice Pages, 4- Make Letters with Multi-Sensory Activities, 5- Scissors Skills, 6- Yoga Cards, 7- Brain Breaks.
