Summary of Brock L. Eide & Fernette F. Eide's The Dyslexic Advantage

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Individuals with dyslexia are good at what they do not in spite of their dyslexia, but because of it. The dyslexic processing style not only affects how individuals read and spell, but it also affects their ability to learn new things. #2 There is a growing body of evidence that shows that individuals with dyslexia are also among the most eminent and creative people in many fields. While the challenges that arise from dyslexia are only one part of the larger picture, these challenges also predispose individuals to important abilities in many mental functions. #3 We will argue in this book that the concept of dyslexia should be changed so that abilities rather than disabilities are at the center of our ideas about what it means to be an individual with dyslexia. #4 The concept of dyslexia is a human invention, and like a telescope it can either expand and clarify our view of individuals who struggle to read and spell or, used the wrong way around, it can cause our view of these individuals to shrink.
