For the last few weeks, I have been busy with a course. It is called Remedial Measures for Children with Specific Learning Disability. Put together by the Madras Dyslexic Association, it is a great introduction to the techniques that teachers who do not have detailed knowledge of dyslexia to be able to apply specific techniques.

Dyslexia is generally known to the layperson as difficulty with reading and spelling. It is that and a lot more. Dyslexia is NOT considered a disease. Rather, it is a neurological disorder. It is also a lifelong condition that doesn’t have a cure.
