Dyslexia and Library Service
http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art32345.asp Dyslexia and Library Service With 20 in every 100 people having some form of dyslexia libraries need to address how to best serve this patron group. Unfortunately, many dyslexics feel the library has nothing for them. When the printed word has not been your friend entering the temple of the written word can seem more like the Temple of Doom. “I don’t like feeling stupid,” one young man told me. “Why would I go to a place where I’m surrounded by more failure?” Fortunately, the library can be the place where the written word is not the enemy but a friend. To decide how to offer appropriate patron service librarians must understand dyslexia. |

Dyslexia at Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyslexia Dyslexia at Wikipedia Dyslexia is a condition or learning disability which causes difficulty with reading and/or writing, not due to an intelligence below the normal range or to sensory problems such as poor eyesight. Dyslexia is characterized by difficulty or inability to learn adequate reading or writing skills despite conventional teaching and adequate sociocultural opportunity. Despite popular belief, dyslexia is not caused by reversing the order of letters in reading, nor is it a visual perception deficit that involves reading letters or words backwards or upside down. |
