WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
DYSLEXIC CHILDREN ARE
EMPOWERED?

They can look at a situation and identify seemingly
disparate pieces of information and blend those into a
narrative or tapestry that most people can’t see. This
translates into a exceptional level of success in four
major vocational paths: entrepreneurship, engineering,
architecture, and the arts. ^A

Successful men and women with dyslexia (e.g. doctors,
lawyers, educationalists, filmmakers, computer program-
mers, writers, admini-strators) were able to attain
prestigious careers whilst battling with literacy problems.
They pursued passionate interests – subjects they were
happy to read about and thus improve reading ability
with, developed persistence and empathy – to not give
up in the face of struggles/problems and to empathize
with others with similar struggles, were aware that
mentors were important role models and supporters in
struggling times; and denied access to chosen careers
by others – being discouraged reinforced motivation to
overcome barriers. ^F
