What Educators Need to Know About Dyslexia\u2014and Why It\u2019s Not Something to \u2018Fix\u2019<\/strong><\/a> — from edweek.org by Elizabeth Heubeck<\/p>\n

\u201cThe good news is, though, with early intervention and with the appropriate types of modifications and intervention, people with dyslexia thrive in today\u2019s world.\u201d<\/p>\n

From DSC:<\/span><\/em>
\nI have a retired friend who is dyslexic and, to this very day, feels the pain of being told — and treated like — he was stupid in the majority of his K-12 years. He later went on to get trained on how to operate missiles, solve a variety of highly technical IT-related problems, set up networks, run security departments, and more. He is a highly intelligent individual. But he is dsylexic. And he recalls the pain of those early education days.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m glad that we’ve made some significant progress in understanding dsylexia. And I hope that today’s dyslexic students don’t have experiences like his.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Learning is frustration.”<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The learning space is that space between “not knowing” and “knowing.” It can be very frustrating. But don’t be discouraged when you are frustrated. It means that you are learning. Eventually, you’ll get to “knowing.”

Department of Education Helps Students With Disabilities. Don’t Let It Disappear | Opinion<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>— from newsweek.com by Katy NeasCEO, The Arc of the United States<\/p>\n

When education is limited, so is opportunity. Without education, students with disabilities face higher rates of\u00a0poverty,\u00a0unemployment,\u00a0poor health, and social isolation. Education is the foundation for independence, inclusion, and a future with choices. Strip it away, and we are not just limiting potential\u2014we are forcing millions of people into a lifetime of barriers and hardship.<\/p>\n

This issue is personal for me. As a former deputy assistant secretary in the Department of Education’s Office of Special Education and a lifelong advocate for disability rights, I have seen firsthand what happens when children with disabilities face barriers\u2014and how the Department of Education steps in to make things right.<\/p>\n
