WHAT IS DYSLEXIA?
Symptoms of Dyslexia may be exhibited
in one of these problem areas:
- Reading, writing, spelling or
mathematics.
- Following and understanding
directions.
- Communicating ideas.
- Confusing right from left.
- Concentrating.
- Socializing and relating to others.
- Memorizing.
- Telling time and distances.
- Eye-hand coordination.
- Sleeping and eating habits.
- Eye-word blindness.
- Reversing symbols.
Sir Robert Jones had all of these
symptoms. He beat dyslexia and will share his method with you. If you
genuinely and sincerely want help, this method WILL work. All you need
is a willingness to help yourself.
WHO DOES DYSLEXIA ATTACK?
Dyslexics can be found in every age
and ethnic group, without regard to education or economics. The hidden
handicap has been shared by presidents, peddlers, and geniuses, such as
Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, General George Patton, Winston
Churchill, Leonardo da Vinci, Walt Disney, Cher, Whoopi Goldberg, Greg
Louganis, and Tom Cruise.
Presently one out of every six women,
and three out of every six men in America are victims of dyslexia, and
twenty percent of all children are now being born dyslexic. *

and Human Development.)
CAN DYSLEXIA BE BEATEN?
We have found that learning disability
stems from chemical imbalance in the brain. By first addressing the
chemical imbalance, and then addressing the lack of self-esteem, and
motivation, along with seeing, feeling, hearing, and speaking
simultaneously, we create new synaptic pathways in the brain. This in
turn creates long-term memory, the lack of which is the main problem of
most dyslexic people.
Finally, there is an alternative to
illiteracy and alienation. Traditional attempts to address the problem
of dyslexia and illiteracy have fallen short of the mark because as a
rule:
- Programs are designed without the
first–hand experience and input of dyslexics themselves.
-Who could teach a dyslexic better
than one who has experienced the problem and overcome it?
- Remediation primarily relied on
classroom equipment vs. the personalized development of learning
skills.
-A dyslexic must have one-to-one
training to first develop basic skills. This allows the student to
stay focused.
- Depersonalized programs overlooked
the individual and family dynamics.
-It has been established that
dyslexia is, in 99% of all cases, passed on genetically. Very often a
dyslexic child will suffer physical, mental, verbal, or emotional
abuse because their REAL problem – dyslexia – is not recognized.
If a child is punished for not being able to read or spell, it is
physical abuse. If a child cannot reach his or her parents’
expectation and is consistently told that he or she is lazy, that is
mental abuse. If a child is told that he or she is not trying, or that
they do not care, that is verbal abuse, for in their mind and in their
world, this is not true. If a child is surrounded by others who can
read, spell and do math when they cannot, this is emotional abuse. In
very many cases a child who has been labeled as having a behavioral
problem is really suffering from a learning disability. Without
testing, this might never be recognized. NEVER let anyone tell you
there is no such thing as dyslexia, or that a dyslexic person cannot
learn to read and spell like everyone else.
- Follow-up or the identification of
community-based support services was left to the dyslexic or their
family.
- In many cases this cannot be found
in America today.
- Mislabeling and misdiagnosing.
- Professional testing is a necessity
for the accurate diagnosis of dyslexia.
