Learnable Linguistics

Jane Andrews was our speaker today and she spoke about Learnable Linguistics, a program for persons with dyslexia. The program consists of educational activists passionate about helping Dyslexic learners and students acquire the ability to read, write and spell. “Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurobiological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction.   

She noted many famous persons who have had and struggled with Dyslexia. Many can overcome issues with Dyslexia with proper assistance and support.
