Myth #30 for #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth: "Individuals with #dyslexia or #reading impairment will never be successful!" NOT TRUE! There are so many successful people with #dyslexia or #reading impairments on this planet, each of them defining success in their own, individual way 1/3
However, in order for them to reach their full potential (whatever it is!), we need to provide them with realistic role models, rich resources, opportunities to develop & maintain healthy self-esteem, counseling, AND access to evidence-based, systematic interventions 2/3
Without an increased focus on protective factors for children with #dyslexia & #reading impairments, we will continue to see lower high-school/higher education graduation rates, increased risk to enter the prison system, lower wages, & increased mental health problems.
Are you an individual with #dyslexia or #reading impairment? Maybe you want to tell your story here for #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth? What were the 3 main things that made you successful in your own individual way? How do you define success? Thank you for considering! #dyslexiadiaries
