Dyslexia in a different way of processing visual information from the human brain. It is not related to the level of general intelligence of the individual. Therefore, it is not a prerequisite or condition for poor learning outcomes. As dyslexia is directly related to brain activity, it should be emphasized that it cannot be cured.
All practices and therapeutic activities are aimed at gradually adapting dyslexia to generally accepted standards. Here are some of the most important aspects: dyslexics think “visually / pictorially”, which is different from standard “verbal” thinking dyslexics often have above average levels of general intelligence dyslexics have difficulty in visually processing textual information, but not in visual non-literal tasks dyslexia is not associated with an ophthalmic problem dyslexics put significantly more effort into text-related activities than people who do not have such difficulties (normolexics) the manifestations of dyslexia vary, with different combinations of them occurring in different people dyslexics have a problem decoding written information, but not understanding it dyslexia is directly related to the way textual information is presented dyslexia is most common in reading and writing dyslexia can be linked to both letters and numbers Dyslexics make “typographical” errors when writing or substituting letters, but these errors are not grammatical.
Dyslexic difficulties are most evident during the school period. The earliest moment for “diagnosis” is considered to be 8 years old – after the child has completed one year of reading training.

And respectively avoidance of the learning process. This is the reason why dyslexics drop out of the training system, in the worst case. With a more accepting attitude towards dyslexia, he gradually learns to develop his compensatory skills in order to be “in step” with his peers.

Among the names are actors, screenwriters, artists, scientists and more.
This should show that dyslexics have something more. Thanks to the different ways in which the brain works, they definitely show a high level of creativity. And it is the basis for many scientific discoveries and an engine in art. You can often see that dyslexics are defined as geniuses. And that’s because a lot of geniuses are dyslexics. And how unfortunate it is for the world to actually lose its most valuable ones because they can’t read aloud.
How can dyslexia be alleviated? In the first place through a tolerant and informed attitude. When the student shows a high level of understanding of the material, but has allowed the displacement of letters of familiar words, and too unreasonable to define as stupid. Let us treat dyslexics with respect. Much of human progress lies in their ideas!
