ADHD affects one’s ability to stay focused and pay attention. Difficulty controlling behavior and hyperactivity are common symptoms. Research indicates that from 30-50 percent of children with ADHD also have a specific learning disability, and that the two conditions can interact to make learning extremely challenging

Dyslexia affects reading and related language-based processing skills. The severity can differ in each person. It generally affects reading fluency, decoding, reading comprehension, recall, writing, spelling, and sometimes speech.

Dysgraphia affects a person’s handwriting ability and fine motor skills. Illegible handwriting, inconsistent spacing, poor spatial planning on paper, poor spelling, and difficulty composing writing are common problems.

Dyscalulia affects a person’s ability to understand numbers and learn math facts. People with dyscalculia struggle with math symbols, memorizing and organizing numbers, telling time, or have trouble with counting.

Dyspraxia is characterized by difficulty in muscle control, causing problems with movement and coordination, language and speech, and it can also affect learning. Dyspraxia often exists along with dyslexia, dyscalculia or ADHD

Why Dyslexia Makes Reading So Difficult

● Dyslexics use a different part of their brain for reading
● Rather than easily recognizing words and groups of words as non-dyslexics do,
dyslexics need to first identify each letter and then try to group the letters into words and
sentences
● Doing so requires so much focus that it’s hard to remember the word you just formed

Schools Are Not Dyslexic Friendly

● School work is 4 times harder for dyslexics
● The traditional school curriculum is weighted towards reading and writing
● Schools don’t provide tools or support for the extra time dyslexics require
● Teachers are uninformed about dyslexia and not prepared to adequately assist

Consequences

● Dyslexics are often afraid to read aloud in the classroom
● Homework takes more time to complete
● Test questions are more difficult to understand
● Assignments require additional explanation
● Dyslexics have low confidence in school
● Dyslexics think they aren’t smart because learning is more difficult for them

What Let’s Get Booking Does To Help

● We provide a platform where people with dyslexia can sign up to read in a stress free, non critical environment where it’s ok to make mistakes
● Hearing yourself read aloud helps you improve by hearing your errors

Community Benefits

● Readers provide companionship for the elderly and add to a facility’s life enrichment programs
● Animal shelters will likely see an increase in pet adoptions, since reading to animals provides a stress free environment and bonding opportunity
