Response to Article: The Education of Dyslexic Children from Childhood to Young Adulthood - S.E Shaywitz, Morris and B.A Shaywitz
The authors start by saying, "For good readers, gaining meaning from print quickly and effortlessly, like breathing and speaking, is a natural part of life" (p.452). Although I certainly fall into this category, the statement makes me think about dyslexia (and other reading disabilities) in the same regard as any other disability. Those of us with full use of both our legs find it impossible to imagine the struggles a person in a wheelchair must face. Thinking about reading disabilities from this perspective makes me slightly more empathetic. If nothing else, it gives me new insight into the complicated world that is reading/learning disabilities.
