With regard to dyslexia (whatever that is) what if it is a teaching rather than a learning disability? Check out JoRSEN 09/22 Dimetrellou et al "Online OVIP.

    Hello @Slimison and welcome to the online community. Are you looking to find out more about dyslexia in general?

    I'm not exactly what you mean here:

    Would you mind explaining, just so that we can understand fully? :)

    Hi Slimison

    Welcome to Scope online, plenty of info on site.

    I think you might be 'putting the cart before the horse' there. A lot of people have 'dyslexia', but they and their teachers don't know they have 'dyslexia' until it's been diagnosed. So it can't be teaching, once it's been diagnosed, those people are taught in a different way.

    A very good perspective @Slimison – I often say that learning difficulties/disabilities are influenced by the way people teach.

    One quote I like for this is “maybe if they can’t learn the way we teach, we should teach the way they learn”.

    Having said that, people with dyslexia still deserve to feel validated. Their difficulties would still be there without this ‘reasonable adjustment’ like any other difficulty/disability.

    What would you say is the most highly effective way of teaching, based on the research you are referencing? :)
