It is essential that we show respect to the dyslexic child. Since these children are often great thinkers/builders it is a great boost for their confidence if we are interested in what's going on in their minds. To stop our busy lives for a bit and have our own 'listening ears' ready for them is a great step toward building trust. We will often be surprised by the ideas they have or the method and logic behind their lego creations and other constructions. It was refreshing to hear a seven year old dyslexic think of a way we could invent phones that would find the owner when someone's calling instead of having a frantic search for the phone when it rings in some remote corner of the house, or how revolving parking lots, could make traffic lighter and parking easier! I wouldn't be surprised if these inventions actualized in the next few years, and that too by a visual thinker!
