The truth is that when a parent learns that their child has a disease or disorder, their first reaction is a real shock. Many times, our love for our children, a love like no other, and the unkistakableness of the disease they speak of, makes us overestimated the problem.
But is it true that sometimes obstacles are great opportunities for us and our children?
- In this article we want to talk about dyslexia and tell you that whether it’s your case or your child’s.

- Dyslexic? And there are many other cases.
More than 100 years ago the first descriptions of dyslexia emerged and since then the debate on how to define, diagnose and treat it has not stopped.
Currently, the most accepted definition is the one proposed by the International Dyslexia Association in 2002:
Specific learning difficulties, of neurological origin, characterized by difficulties in the precise and fluid recognition of words and problems of spelling and decoding Are these difficulties the result of a deficit in the phonological component?It is not a disease and therefore has no cure.
A dyslexic’s brain is different. Certain areas of the brain, especially the upper temporal area of the left hemisphere, responsible for phonological processing, and the occipitotemporal zone, which forms the visual representations of words, work differently, which is believed to be a consequence of the abnormal functioning of certain genes during embryonic development.
Luz Rello suffers from dyslexia and is an expert in this field. Thanks to it, we have a new application called “Lollipops”, which consists of a series of exercises and games to help people who have this difficulty and with which it has been proven that spelling improves significantly.
She created this blog two years ago, with the help of her daughter. As she says, “I was desperate, stressed and I tried to unload, convinced that only my mom and a few more would read to me” Maria has six children and they are all dyslexic.
But, to her surprise, her blog began to receive many visits from other mothers whose children suffer from dyslexia. Your eldest child is studying telecommunications engineering, an example that you can be whatever you want, even if you’re dyslexic.
? The best way to help a dyslexic child is to provide tools to compensate for his difficulties when he needs to deal with words; tools that give you confidence and encouragement to overcome this small hurdle and move on.
? The sooner we detect that the child has this difficulty, the better he or she will be able to face and automate the tools we talked about earlier.
? Parents should be calm and not overestimated the problem, but also not let it go. Keep in mind that if the problem really exists, it won’t go away on its own.
? Working with people who are part of the child’s education, whether teachers or other family members, can and should all add up. In the future, the child will be very grateful for any steps taken in the right direction.
Singer Paul Donés, The Seductive Actor of Grey’s Anatomy, Patrick Dempsey and the founder of IKEA are dyslexic. Do I find it very difficult to read the paragraphs?But I never gave up?. And it’s still there, breaking hearts?
We end up with a phrase from Luz Rello that we hope will inspire you: “School is the worst medicine for a dyslexic. But one day it’s over, Force! Then you can study whatever you want, be whatever you want and use all the tools. “you want to.
