Some educators are nervous to ‘label’ a child as dyslexic.

But this is a mistake ❌

The label is VITAL for our own self-understanding. Here are 5 things to look out for in the classroom or at home 👇

[Decoding Dyslexia CA @DDCalifornia]

We at Decoding Dyslexia CA take great offense to the wording and description about why someone with dyslexia  cannot be the president of the United States. Let's make one thing clear, this is not a rebuttal in support of any particular politician. 2/11

[Decoding Dyslexia CA @DDCalifornia]

It is because people with dyslexia, particularly when areas of weakness have become well remediated and they've learned multiple ways to compensate for their weaknesses, have tremendous strengths that provide incomparable value to not only in CA or the US, but to the entire🌎6/11

[Decoding Dyslexia CA @DDCalifornia]

This is a statement about the abhorrent discriminatory language used in @LATimesSkelton article that characterizes a person with dyslexia as being incompetent of handling any public speaking. 3/11

[Decoding Dyslexia CA @DDCalifornia]

Mr. Skelton, although you do acknowledge that previous presidents have been dyslexic and you make a reference to Einstein, another famous person with dyslexia, the tone of your article insinuates that maybe the word “genius”. . . 7/11

[Decoding Dyslexia CA @DDCalifornia]

In fact, when we assess people for dyslexia (and other specific learning disabilities), we look at both overall cognitive skills separately from a person’s specific academic achievement skills. 9/11

[Decoding Dyslexia CA @DDCalifornia]

was erroneously applied to Albert Einstein because he too struggled with reading and spelling.  We, at Decoding Dyslexia CA, would like to remind you that reading, writing and math skills are separate and distinct from one’s overall intelligence. 8/11

[Decoding Dyslexia CA @DDCalifornia]

Mr. Skelton, you also probably wrote this article with some sort of lighting in your office or home -- lighting invented by Thomas Edison, another famous person with dyslexia.  Mr Skelton, did you know that over 33% of all CEOs are dyslexic? 5/11

Don't listen to the chatter from George Skelton's article.
