In this Episode 007 of Dyslexia Thinking Positive: We talk about…
Being a Mother to your Child and Dyslexia. I discuss how my own Mum/Mom worked with me as a child, helping me manage what, at that time, was simply considered poor aptitude and a total inability to learn. My Mother recently passed away a few weeks ago and I have spent a lot of time with her in my thoughts. I think you will find some real value in this section, if your wondering just how to relate Dyslexia with your child.
I spoke last episode about the software for Dyslexia…Called Type-o In this episode I provide the review, highlight its good aspects and also created a short 10 min video of the software in use. I give apologies in advance for any poor or low level quality. This was my first attempt at video :-)
The review video is available below:

In short, its an excellent item and very well priced. This software was designed specially for those with Dyslexia. Its good and its affordable. Here is the main sites url for you http://typ-o.com/ or search for typ-o on the app store.
Next is a source where you can obtain and do a Free Online Dyslexia Check. Its provided by the Ron Davis Reading Research Council.Here is the url for you http://www.testdyslexia.com/ Please note this is not provided as a comparable alternative to a professionally done test by Educators and Psychologists. It will though provide some very good indications that yes there are reasons to suspect Dyslexia is in play. If you are an Adult and have not had any form of test completed in the past and you simply are wondering WHY you struggle, then this would be a great item to complete imo.
FREE Worksheets! I discuss a source you can use…to gain totally Free worksheets to use with your child. No doubts about it, if you can spend some time one on one with your child at home, and do some educational work with them on a regular basis…it WILL help, and improve things for them. This resource provides over 1500 full color printable worksheets all Free and all of them broken down into Help Type Sections. The link for the page is HERE for you.
Next in line is a Writing Tip for Adults…I am what I call a ‘Stopper’ Don’t know what a Stopper is? Well check out this episode and see :-)

Lastly…I ask the BIG QUESTION. Can Dyslexia be spotted BEFORE a child starts learning in the school system or Kindergarten? Well some recent research results with work completed in Boston by the Gabb Lab at Boston Children’s Hospital has shown great evidence that YES its possible! They are looking for more help and are requesting additional children to help with the work. Its some interesting stuff being seen here so check out this section of the podcast and if you live in or near the Boston Area here is the link to the information on how to take part in the study. The url is HERE and for the page and form requesting participation in the study click HERE
