    My blog post title is

    Dyslexia is a Gift! 4 Strengths that People with Dyslexia have but are Hidden by the Obvious Difficulties in the Language Components

    I chose to write about this in order to shift perspectives towards dyslexia which my son battles with with every word he encounters in life. It only takes geniuses to deal with that!!!!!!.

    Dyslexia is a Gift!

    Much of what we hear about dyslexia could influence our thoughts to focus on the negatives. These aspects are concrete and they do exist, but people with dyslexia demonstrate many strengths. Don’t let existing dyslexic difficulties overshadow the strengths you or your child has.

    Among the News, the Diagnosis of Dyslexia, Emotions and … The Wall

    Already. You just found out that you have dyslexia, or that your little piece of heaven has been diagnosed with dyslexia. You probably feel that your expectations and dreams for your child will not be able to materialize. The frustration for some of us is twofold, especially when even having observed how intelligent our little creature is, they give us the news that it has difficulties that seem to us of an unexpected nature. Please continue reading to explain when I talk about some of the strengths that accompany dyslexia.

    I want to start by explaining dyslexia from a strength point of view.

    I understand that once we identify strengths it helps us to know how to help the boy in a more effective way. Obviously, it is essential to analyze the specific weaknesses of some individual with Dyslexia and there is no doubt or question. In my practice as a dyslexia therapist, I try to work with weaknesses with either alphabet-related skills, speaking, letter-sound correspondence, reading words in isolation, writing words without separating, difficulties with written expression, problems with directionality, among others through therapy to attack these weaknesses with multisensory education.

    Strengths of People with Dyslexia

    The Brain’s Ability to Compensate for Difficulties – People with dyslexia can listen to a book and retain so much of the text’s message and many details that, conversely, many readers rely on reading visually.
    Good Comprehension of Texts Read by Others – Contrary to what this may seem to some teachers who focus on fluency in reading, it comes as no surprise to some parents who have always read to their children and watch like children. / a interacts with the book read.
    Macro Thinking – People with dyslexia tend to understand more comprehensive concepts rather than specific details.
    Three-Dimensional Perception – Related to reading difficulties, however, strengthens visual understanding of models (For example, curiosity about models that you might see in the dentist’s office or collect objects from nature such as leaves and rocks ).
    People with dyslexia excel in certain domains – Successful people with dyslexia excel in science, art, sports, and even venture into other domains confronting difficulties such as creative writing. Personally, I have met people with dyslexia in many different trades.

    Apparently, it is more than necessary to understand the strengths that many children have and can be overshadowed by the evident deficits presented by the learning difficulty called Dyslexia.

    Defining Dyslexia

    Since we have treated Dyslexia from the point of view of strengths, let’s talk about definitions with their focus on difficulties (which we admit are real and described by many studies) and thus understand difficulties with language, reading and the writing.

    Well, I have decided to write my blog in Spanish. So if there is a native Spanish Speaker that can read my BIO, I would greatly appreciate. Here it comes!!!!

    UPDATE!!!!!! GOOGLE TRANSLATION!!!

    <div><div tabindex=”0″>Hi all! My name is Luis Ramos from TodoSobreDislexia.com, born in the United States, raised in Puerto Rico and currently living in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, in the state of Texas, United States. I work as a dyslexia therapist in a local school district while pursuing a Dual Master’s Degree in Dyslexia and Educational Diagnosis.

    I am the proud father of a child with dyslexia and together we have laughed and cried about the different topics that I present in this blog.

    Currently I have dedicated my efforts at work to sensitizing teachers in my district who unfortunately lack tools to work with dyslexic students. My son suffered at his school until I decided to enter a training center for dyslexia therapists and also legally arm myself with information for the school to provide services and accommodations.

    After a while I have proposed that what happened to my son does not happen to any other child and well, here I am as its author.

    Thank you for your visit and I hope you come back soon for more information.

    Luis Ramos
