Dyslexia

=Dyslexia - Get rid of the Dys =

We attended Laughton King's workshops where he made a point of telling us that when he works with dyslexic kids, he tells them there is no "dys". "Dys" or "dis" makes you think there is something wrong. Dyslexics are different, like diesel and petrol vehicles. So he calls these kids the diesels.

You don't put petrol in a diesel truck. When it doesn't work, you don't blame the truck. And you don't keep putting more petrol in it, hoping it will eventually go!
