“We are claiming that certain talents are as much a part of dyslexic processing as are the better known challenges- that the strengths and the challenges are simply two sides of the same neurological coin.” P.17 The Dyslexic Advantage. Eide 2011.

Great little intro chapter where they take a Grandpa, Mum and grandchild and show how you could view their Dyslexia story so differently depending on the perspective you take.

Firstly from the narrow one which most children and dyslexia is viewed through. Then through a second wider view of dyslexia. The difference is surprising.

I do a quick summary of the chapter. Share some quotes and my personal reflections and lessons learnt.
