TOUCH-TYPE, READ AND SPELL: THE DYSLEXIA-FRIENDLY APPROACH DYSLEXIA IS A COMMON LEARNING DIFFICULTY THAT CAUSES PROBLEMS WITH READING, WRITING AND SPELLING, AND IS USUALLY DIAGNOSED IN CHILDREN WHEN THEY START SCHOOL. IT IS A LIFELONG CONDITION, BUT UNLIKE A LEARNING DISABILITY, IT DOESN’T AFFECT THE CAPACITY TO UNDERSTAND AND LEARN NEW INFORMATION. INDEED, MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE DYSLEXIA HAVE STRONG VISUAL, CREATIVE AND PROBLEMSOLVING SKILLS – FAMOUS DYSLEXICS INCLUDE RICHARD BRANSON, STEVEN SPEILBERG, PABLO PICASSO, WHOOPI GOLDBERG, LEONARDO DA VINCI AND ALBERT EINSTEIN. DYSLEXIA IS NO BARRIER TO SUCCESS.
