An Integrative Approach to Dyslexia

An Integrative Approach to DyslexiaAn Integrative Approach to Dyslexia

We Believe The Dyslexic Brain is Amazing!

If you have a child with dyslexia, it is just as important, if not more important, to help them discover and develop their areas of strength and talent. Because dyslexia is considered a right-brain learning style, most dyslexics have special talents in areas controlled by the right side of their brain. By focusing on these gifts, you can change the paradigm in which your child views dyslexia and himself.


Areas of Strength:

  • Art- especially 3-D expression and visualization
  • Athletics
  • Music
  • People skills
  • Highly intuitive
  • Mechanical skills
  • Inquisitive and Imaginative
  • Creative and Innovative
  • Global thinkers-“think out-side of the box”
  • Problem solvers-good at seeing the big picture
  • Strong verbal communicators

​

Careers that take advantage of their strengths:


There are highly accomplished and successful adult dyslexics working in all professions, but there are some careers that many dyslexic adults truly excel in. Here are just a few….
