Hi,
I teach at a dyslexic school, music, drama and P.S.H.E, all confidence boosting subjects which focus on strengths and talents which are often found in the dyslexic child. Here is an example of what happened to one of my students.

One boy at my school use to sit in the car everyday and cry not wanting to come in. After 4 years of steady confidence building, creative ideas, rewards for helping pupils to settle in, praise, learning and eventually excelling in a musical instrument, drama activities, credits and certificates the boy became head boy and left the school a confident self assured young man.

I hope this highlights the value of boosting areas that students are good at.
