    Jack Horner’s “The Extraordinary Characteristics of Dyslexia” challenged my perception of dyslexics. He contrasts two different mindsets and gives encouragement to those that may feel burdened by dyslexia. Horner struggled with dyslexia growing up and even failed out of college multiple times. He persevered through his failures, learned to think outside the box, and achieved success as a renowned paleontologist. While most might view dyslexia negatively, Horner views it as a way of understanding the world that in some ways is superior.…

    My time spent interning for Donald Takacs was a significant period in my undergraduate career and one which nurtured my interest in school psychology. Donald Takacs, president of the “Dyslexia Society of Connecticut” had partnered with the University of Connecticut to create his Phonics-based Multisensory Reading program. Mr. Takacs introduced me to Dr. Sally Shaywitz’s science-based program for reading difficulties through her book “Overcoming Dyslexia”. The consequences of stereotyping individuals with this disability and lack of detection were clear and disheartening. As an intern, I applied the knowledge I had gained from Mr. Takacs by developing weekly lesson plans for three early elementary school students who showed signs of reading difficulties. In the process, I was able to converse with their teachers and parents regarding their progress and the nature of our program…

    In Kyle Redford’s article, “Unidentified Dyslexia Takes Heavy Toll,” he wrote about unidentified dyslexia, that dyslexia affects more than just reading, that early identification is important, and the characteristics teachers should know to identify a student with dyslexia. Redford started off by writing how common unidentified dyslexia is and the research that supports it. Many students that are struggling with school, have some type of learning disability and more times than not, it’s some form of dyslexia. He explained how some students that have not been identified as having dyslexia may appear as lazy, disruptive, or struggles with school.
