This year, the
International Dyslexia Association has joined the International Go Red for
Dyslexia Movement. Red was chosen this year to promote Dyslexia Awareness
Month. Dyslexia Awareness Month is in October because more children are
diagnosed with Dyslexia when they are in school. Other times, Dyslexia is also diagnosed
as an adult in College. Dyslexia is a learning disorder that makes it difficult
for the brain to process language and to comprehend what is being read.
The symptoms vary depending on age. Dyslexia symptoms are
generally misspelling words, having difficulty pronouncing words, and having difficulty
writing a summary of what was read. Yet, there are ways to help you get
organized and make work easier. Using color paper, charts, and typing will make
it easier to get the main points of information. Additionally, having sticky
notes with diagrams to understand the information.
Dyslexia is also with numbers besides letters. But having the
numbers repeated and the information repeated helps to memorize the
information. It can get frustrating at times especially when your boss does not
understand what dyslexia means. Therefore, it is recommended to tell your boss
that you have dyslexia and employees are protected for having this learning
disorder. Employees should not get discriminated for having dyslexia. Doing
relaxation techniques also help you to cope with dyslexia. Here are more
resources about Dyslexia Awareness Month.
