Should I Label My Child?
My child has been labeled with dyslexia. Should I tell them and label them?
The thought of giving a child a label of a specific learning disability like dyslexia can cause us distress. Why can’t it just be called a ‘learning difficulty’ or a ‘learning difference’? Well, in some countries in the world it is. Imagine calling Virgin entrepreneur, Richard Branson disabled or referring to actor Keira Knightely or basketball star Michael Jordan as disabled. It doesn’t seem right does it?
When we think of the word ‘disability’ we invariably think of a physical disability like being blind or a paraplegic. Dyslexia is often referred to as ‘the hidden disability’ because it can’t be seen with the naked eye, unless you are watching a dyslexic individual complete a cognitive task, like decoding letter symbols to read or spell.
Dyslexia is a termed a ‘learning disability’ in many counties of the world and this eBook explains why. Whether you are coming to terms with the thought of labelling your child or you want to know more about a label of dyslexia and how it can assist a child at school, this is sure to be a reference guide that you can refer to again and again.
