[quote=Anonymous]There is a long list of highly successful people that have not only held careers, but have made a profound impact on society (Albert Einstein, Andy Warhol, Henry Ford, Charles Schwab, etc. And don't forget Jennifer Aniston). Just google it. Also, MIT is full of dyslexics and NASA actually seeks them out (over 50% of employees are dyslexic). Get your child a certified OG tutor and if you can afford it, 4-5 days a week. It's a lot of upfront money, but if your child is young enough consistent OG tutoring will remediate. In addition the Sally Shaywitz, read "The Dyslexic Advantage." When my child was first diagnosed, I had tremendous anxiety about what it meant for her, but with a year of OG tutoring I see the light and I have also come to understand her dyslexia as a true gift.[/quote]
