Dyslexia and Attention Deficit Disorder

Listen to this page with proReader

Are you interested in dyslexia or attention deficit disorder? The first thing you should know is that these so-called “learning disabilities” are really learning differences. Both dyslexia and ADD are mixes of difficulties and strengths. Some things that society takes for granted like reading, spelling, the ability to concentrate are more difficult for us. At the same time, people with dyslexia or ADD are often unusually creative, innovative and independent.

The Dyslexia Awareness and Resource Center is here to help both students and adults who have dyslexia and ADD, as well as their parents, teachers and professionals, who work with them.
