Do you believe that downloading and converting YouTube videos to MP3 should be simple? You only need to look at https://ytmp3.lc ,a platform that redefines ease of use for converting. I found this online converter to be quite user-friendly and efficient when I had to extract audio from YouTube videos. You may easily convert your favorite films into high-quality MP3 files for free by visiting ytmp3. Because of the site's simple design, converting is not only quick but also quite convenient

Do you think getting into gambling is a good idea? I believe it's highly thrilling, and I don't consider it a potential source of additional income.

Hi! What comics can you recommend? Obviously, it is challenging for a new comic book collector to buy key issues of older comics. For instance, you’re not going to be able to buy the first issue of a Batman comic from 40 years ago without spending big money. However, you can buy key issues from modern comics. They might not be worth a lot now, but further down the line, they could become very valuable assets.

What address bars do you use? As useful as web browser extensions are, you should install as few of them as possible because any developer can become compromised. If multiple extensions that do the same thing are available, always pick the one that has been around for a while and has received many positive reviews.

hi all, can anyone offer me help, advice or encouragement on my latest problem.i've been living in Spain now for a year and a half and i love it.i decided to learn Spanish so i can involve myself in the community. i was very excited about my new challenge. i started the classes 5 months ago and was quickly reminded of my school days,not in a good way.all the old feelings came rushing back,nerves,pounding heart,dry mouth and panic.how could i not have realised that to learn a new language you need to know all the language terminology,grammar etc. i don't learn them in English so how was i going to understand in another language.one day the teacher asked me to read out loud.....omg i thought but i gave it my best shot, it was terrible and i was rally upset after. the next day i told her a had dyslexia and to please not ask me to read out loud again. i go everyday in the hope that something will click in my head and i'll understand how it all works,academically i mean.the other side of the coin is that i'm actually quite good at the pronunciation and now have a lot of vocabulary but i still struggle to put it all together.is there another method i can use to learn? the classroom environment isn't the place for me it seems the pace is too fast and it makes in feel very uncomfortable. i really want to learn so I'm determined not to give up.

You can't put everything on being dyslexic! There's a bunch of people who aren't dyslexic and have issues with their spending. Maybe she does need to form an imagine of how it feels and is to have no founds to get better at it or maybe she has self control issues in general which may be caused by other factors(compulsive shopping?). If she is willing to get better at it she might benefit from some professional conciliating.

By depression most mental processes go slower, and that will of cource also slow down processes that occur during reading, some perhaps more than others. That might worsen dyslexia or mimic classical dyslexia.

Also the strugling that a dyslectic person has daily can make him exhausted, which can in the long run lead to depression.

My dyslexic story. I am now 55 years old and have dyslexia my entire life. Till the ages 25 I never knew I have dyslexia. It's never stop me from trying to get the best out of life. And them after 33 years I lost my best friend and my house. And now its a real challenge to try to get insurance. And to keep up with the bank account and electric bills in cable bills. I can't seem to figure out passwords. For the life of me I can't figure out why I can't type them and make them work. I'm trying to keep a tract of my checking account is turned out to be quite a challenge. I'm trying to get people to help me with them things is even a bigger challenge. And sometimes I spend days trying to solve password problems. I can't seem to get a home aid worker. And sometimes my daughters don't seem to think I'm trying hard enough. You can't prove it when you can't show in the accomplishments. I'm very puzzle what life is in store for me. How does a person get insurance. How does somebody get a mortgage. But I do think God for my iPhone which makes it so I can play Paul this and put it down on paper. Maybe there's more tools to be had I can't wait until I find. If anybody has any ideas how Maybe someday life will have me again. For now I guess just love sleepless nights. Thank you for reading my story.

Hi all,
I am new here. It's refreshing to see so many people who may understand what I have gone through. My story is similar to many others. I can actually remember when I was in kindergarten. It was when the teachers started to give us homework. I couldn't grasp the process of spelling words correctly. On top of that I could not understand directions given for a certain task. My parents and teachers made the decision to hold me back while the rest of my friends moved on. While I struggled through school I always felt out of place. I could never complete classroom assignments or tests on time. It wasn't for lack of trying, I just couldn't pick up what I was reading. As I read, the paper would start to get ultra bright. I would get to the end of sentences and have to read them again and again. If I didn't run my finger along the page I would skip words. The premise of whatever I was reading would be lost and before I knew it the time was up and I failed to complete a task or a test. To make things worse I, was exhausted for the next class. I couldn't understand why I was so different. What did everyone else possess to make it so easy to read and understand so fast? In addition, I could barely understand verbal instructions. I didn't tell any of this to the doctors. At the time, I was too aggravated and shut down. In middle school I was diagnosed with ADD. I was prescribed Ritalin along with a list of other medications. I had adverse reactions to them as I became very violent. I had many bouts with my parents (God bless them, they never gave up on me). This went on for years. School was getting harder to understand, I was going through adolescence, and there seemed to be nowhere to go. I made the decision to stop taking medication. I wanted to do things on my own. I then applied to a community college. I was given the option to take a remedial class for Reading and English. I failed at both. I never went to college. After many years I became a pro at hiding my "ADD". I found ways to "Make it by" through the act of BS. There were certain conversations I would avoid. I found ways around taking tests, and If I had to, I found a way to pass by the skin of my teeth. I've always struggled.
Presently, I am 36 years old and hold a good position at a respectable company. It's now getting more difficult to hide. There are tests I have to take for work and I am still the last to complete. I have failed at several and the days are exhausting. Having thought it was always ADD, I never looked at the possibility of Dyslexia. Recently someone at work mentioned that I get tested for Dyslexia. After reading several posts it seems that I have more in common with the issue than I would have thought.
Could anyone advise where I would go to get help? Are you tested for Dyslexia or is it just assumed? Thanks in advance for any help.

My fianc is in the same situation. I am currently at school right now, as is he, but his confidence is so low from severe dyslexia that he is losing hope in ever being able to support a family. I want to help him out and give him some kind of reassurance so that he doesn't give up on school all together, so if there are any suggestions, I would really appreciate it. Its good to know he's not alone in this situation!

Its really making me mad when I see people who say dyslixia is a gift. What is their definition of a gift I wonder?
Would you go to the computer store shopping for a new computer and want to buy one that has something wrong with the CPU so it doesn't transfer information correctly? But it has a good graphics card so it has good pictures. Would you pay good money for this defective computer? Now days its about speed and performance right. So how is it a gift? I have. never seen it as a gift it's a defect that's the way all my school teachers seen it and 40 years latter teachers see it the same way. Our education system in the USA hasn't changed and they call us slow learners.
I don't find it funny when I saw a web sight that had Dyslexia Humer. That's sick and wrong. That's like making fun of a person who can't walk in a wheel chair climbing stairs sliding their body up the stairs pulling their body up the stairs with their elbows. Then having people making fun of how they are climbing the stairs. That's how I feel when I read out loud and people make snickers or get impatient and try to read for me by telling me the words. Like the person who can't walk but can climb stairs with a lot of effort I can read with a lot of effort and don't think it is funny at all and is no joking matter.

I was diagnosed as a child with Dyslexia. That was in 1972. Much has changed, but not the stereotype that everything which is written transposed or backward is because of this "miscommunication."
I went back to college and finish a BS is Health Science. (3.48 GPA) and extra credits needed for acceptance into medical school. Writing the copious about of papers did not seem to be a problem for me. Although I had test anxiety, I had been able to stifle it long enough to have descent grades. My grades were strong enough to earn me a seat in a Physician Assistant program. I was so proud of myself, as no one had ever thought I would ever really be academically successful. At 49 I was the first college graduate in my family.
After six months of basically drowning in class work, and having to sit exams where each question was allotted one minute to answer, I WITHDREW. My cumulative GPA was not strong enough to keep me in the program. ( 3.0 was needed, I had a 2.85) My heart is broken, and once again it seems the dyslexia has yanked away my confidence.
I am writing this; not for answers, but for a need to share. No one knew about what I have struggled with over the past 40 years. I did get retested between semesters so there would be some sort of accommodation for me, but only to extend each question on the exams by 30 seconds. All the reevaluation did was make me feel as if I was "that kid" who was different. ( although I am 49).
Right now....at this moment, I feel defeated. Is there anyone else out there who has pushed themselves past their learning capability? Is it possible? I still have a desire to work as a Mid-level clinician. As a veteran of Respiratory Therapy, I have been very successful and accomplished, but the fire is still there to provide more to people in need.
Are there any programs or seminars which can increase or help one learn at the fast pace required in Med School?
Thank you...

I found out that I was dyslexic upon entering college (20+yrs ago) I was very successful in school and landed a great job soon after. I have been at my place of work for 16 yrs now. I never gave them any formal information about me being dyslexic. I had shared it with some of my supervisors and colleagues. I have been labeled as a trouble maker because I tend to question everything. Not to be difficult but to help me processes events, policy changes, and other information.
I have gotten into a few problems usually around communication. When I feel like I'm being attacked, I get extremely frustrated because of my inability to express my self in a logical manner. I can organize my thoughts and tend to confuse whoever is listening. So, I tend to give up and take whatever they throw at me.
After some serious reflection, I have identified one of the reasons for this break down. It is my company's communication guidelines. It is very specific with use of word choices (should use and over but because "but" has a negative feeling associated to it.) I have to be aware of my body language, use I messages, seak clarification, avoid defensiveness to name a few. I am so paranoid to talk because I'm more focused on the process rather then the content.
Well, needless to say I have found myself in trouble and I really feel I have no support from my supervisor . I am going into a disciplinary action meeting and I am scared to death because I am not sure if I'm going to be able to process everything and explain myself well. I feel I am going to be bulldozed into admitting something I didn't do.
I feel if I share my dyslexia now they are going to say I am making iexcuses. I threw away the documentation about my dyslexia a few yrs back so I really have no proof.
I don't know what to do and feel like a complete loser. So, I'm just wondering if anyone might be able to offer some advice for me.
Thank you

Many parents learn things about themselves as they work through the guiding and raising of their children. My dd was diagnosed with Dysgraphia & ADD a few years ago & has has found success with using a laptop in school. We recently met the parent of another laptop-carrying bright student who said that her son was diagnosed with "Stealth Dyslexia," a term that I was infamiliar with. What struck a chord with me was that this new concept of "stealth dyslexia" seemed to possibly provide answers to my own learning history. I'm a mom in my mid-forties who was the student who always "didn't work up to my potential." I went to a private school & then on to a very good university where I avoided all classes with a lot of required reading because I could never get through it let alone remember what I had read. I chose a major that would require the least amount of reading possible and I still had to study constantly to stay on top of the work. ADD runs through my family (so I know now) and so I had always struggled with daydreaming and attention anyway. For me to learn through the written word is really really hard. That being said, I have an excellent personal memory & often recall details of other's lives (as well as my own) that even they can't remember. I recall conversations, situations as scenes...quite a bit. I had studied for GMAT grad school tests, which I took twice, and did progressively worse (reading comprehension was such a low score - always re-reading the same line or getting through the passage & not knowing what I really read)that I was too perplexed to know how to proceed & ashamed that I was such a self-labled moron. Father is a doctor & mom has a grad degree.

I am long past schooling but have difficulty reading busines articles or anything, really, that I don't have a huge interest in. I have never done book club because I'm a slow & inattentive reader for the most part. I'm highly verbal & can spell and write well enough. People just assume I have a grad degree...some even tell me that they think that I'm really smart. My reading problems have always been like a dirty little secret.

I would have never considered anything like dyslexia - ignorance on my part & no obvious classic symptoms. And maybe it's not that. I don't know. Can anyone offer any insight? Thanks so much. Kate

Hi all,

Just a short introduction about myself and to say hello. I'm a native English teacher who emigrated to Bulgaria in 2007. I'm about to start module 3 towards the certificate in teaching children with dyslexia. The course so far has been extremely interesting and fascinating. I'm working alongside a couple of students at the moment and the knowledge I've gained so far from this course has been very helpful and beneficial for them. I hope eventually to expand because alot of these children are neglected or treated as "dumb or stupid" and as we know they are far from it.
If you're studying toward the certificate, how are you finding the course and what's the most interesting thing you've learnt so far?

The other day i discovered that the telephone number a male friend/fellow coworker gave me was actually a wrong number. I was really hurt that he'd lied to me and sent him an email letting him know. He responded back and apologized, then blamed the misunderstanding on the fact he is dyslexic.

I have to say, i am a little skeptical about his claim as he didnt write his number down, instead he stated the number and i wrote it down. It was several digita off. Could dyslexia explain this? Or am i dealing with a jerk that i should write off?

I apologize for using this forum for relationship advice, but i know little about dyslexia and am curious about this.

Date Posted: 07:47:44 09/14/12 Fri
Hello,
I was just wandering if anyone could give me some advice/support/anything/to say they have been in the same situation even. On Wednesday, I attended an interview for a graduate job at a University. I told them in advance I was dyslexic, explaining that one way it manifests itself is in my ability to answer on the spot questions, even if I know the answers, I get confused, struggle to bring in the relevance to the job description and struggle to explain myself. I linked them to a British Dyslexic Assoiation document on employment. I requested the question areas in advance. I spent days preparing, put together a portifilio of evidence. Firstly, during the interview, they did not explain when they were changing subject areas, further, they asked the questions in a confusing way, not clearly so I could interpret them easily. They also did not stick to these question areas. For an entry level job, they also asked alot of questions about the role and how I react in situations I couldn't possibly even have been in before. I am a recent graduate, but they did not seem to acknowledge that.

They warned me in advance that the interview would also include a test. I didn't think I'd need extra time on it, because it was an office based post so I didn't think I'd be set anything ridicious. I was set 4 tasks to complete in 30 minutes, these tasks included reading, putting together an email, interpretting information. I was also given alot of papers and felt completely overwelmed. I couldn't read the information properly, I became very confused and distressed because of the time pressure. I just felt that they didn't give any consideration to how much I struggled. The lady said, if I had any questions that speak to her but then she disapeared. Also, this time pressure is not representitive of a job where I'd have things explained to me properly and be able to interpret the information properly. Obviously, I was not offered the job, nor would I actually have wanted to take it up if this was the way they felt they could treat there staff.

The help I need is how I begin to think about making a complaint to the organisation about the interview and how I was treated. I just feel I'm in such a differcult situation. But I feel I have no leg to stand on because they would have judged my hiring potential on the tasks and the interview, both in which I struggled with not because I couldn't do the job, but because of my dyslexia. I feel like employers say they understand it, then treat me like anyone else. I get the feeling that when I struggled to complete the tasks set, they thought I was disorganised, crumbled under pressure, flappy.

This comes at a long line of interviews and continual rejections after I graduated in July, I am really ambitious and know what I want to do and have done everything I can to gain voluntary work experience in the field. Its becoming very hard for me, because I know I can do the jobs that I am going for, but the whole circumstances of an interview get in the way of that. I also have a problem with my self esteme because of my dyslexia, meaning I take every hit very hard. I have only ever gained employment if I am given a trial day and can actively show that I am a good worker.
I am very tired, very upset and really sick of feeling like I am different. xxxxxxx

After being out of work for 4 years. I am very happy to have a job. I love going to work, but I have ran into some problems that make it very hard. As everyone here knows it is difficult for a deslexic in the work place to adjust to taks giving to them. At my job I am in charge of all the mail that comes into the office. It take me longer to process beccaue of the reading and sorting. Sorting takes time becaue I like to sort them by letters and it takes longer. My supervisor and other workmates don;t see it that way.

My supervisor says I'm slow and my workmates tell me, they have never met a person that is so slow on a simple task. All this talk makes me feel alone at work, and kills my confidence. I don't know how to talk to people who don't understand an dyslexic. I know I can do the job but try as I can I just can't do it like them. Any advvice anyone.

I am dyslexic and currently in school to become a special education teacher, so I feel quite embarrassed that to have to ask this, but does anybody know of any specific websites, programs, etc. that can help me with my phonemic awareness?

I've tried looking online, in workbooks, and even going to the communication disorders clinic on campus, but because they ask use real words when trying to teach me the sounds I am able to "cheat" because I already know the word and what sound it makes, ever though I haven't a clue as to why I pronounce it one way vs. another. I really think I need learn using nonsense words or something, because otherwise I'm never going to get anywhere, and I certainly won't be ready to help my students.

I really need to find a free or really cheap program because I have no money and can't manage to work and go to school at the same time.

Hi,
Some good Phonemic Awareness Resources that I have come across for my Year 7 (11-12 year old) students who are dyslexic are:
Jollyphonics programme - excellent work books accompanied by CDs and multisensory teaching strategies. I have seen huge progress in my weaker students using these workbooks.

Milo's Reading Game - a great resource made up of cards that have words on them and a colour and animal. All of the cards are placed in the middle and students take turns at taking a card, saying the word on the card, then they can 'steal' a card from any other student..they then have to say that word also and the aim is to collect as many cards as you can that have the same colour or animal on them. This is great fun and without realising the students are practising saying and sounding out unfamiliar words.

TRUGS is also a useful and practical resource, that also has cards and has many different games that practice reading aloud, looking at words and reading while having a fun game.

I have also made cards for a game we call 'mix and match' which has 5 x each letter in the alphabet in a pile and then 20- 30 cards with 2- 3 letters that are beginning, middle or ends of words. The students have to select the correct letters from the alphabet to create a word, then say it out aloud. I usually give them a practice, then we have a game and you turn over the card and have 20 -30 seconds to quickly try and create a word. If they make a word they get to keep it which equals 2 points. If they are unsuccessful they can have longer or be given some hints ( 2 letters) and if they get it, they still get 1 point.

I hope some of these may help you and be good fun practical games for your lessons!

Hi,
If you are interested, here are some teaching strategies which I have found really useful in my first year of teaching students with dyslexia.

At the start of each day it is beneficial to outline the timetable forthe day, so students are clear on what is happening. On my board Ihave the times and classes written in blue and any differentactivities for the day or therapy for individuals is written in red orgreen. After registration I read through and explain the day and
ensure everyone has the correct equipment and homework completed foreach subject. This makes the students feel they know what to expectand reduces the amount of questions throughout the day! At the start
of each lesson, it is also important to explain what they will bedoing and have a conclusion at the end of the lesson to make it verystructured and clear what is expected, what they are going to do and what they have learnt.

During written work in class, I find brainstorming and graphic organisers a great help. This is still encouraging thinking and getting words ideas written down, but is much easier and quicker than writing sentences. Writing frames, bullet points and boxes also help
students get started quicker and are much less daunting than a blank paper piece of paper.Providing photocopies and highlighting main points, as well as underlining words on the board are helpful. Some students find it easier to read with coloured overlays. Coloured pockets to go over worksheets and also coloured reading rulers may be
helpful to some individuals. I also use coloured cards for students to have infront of them of words they may need to use, but be unsure of spelling to assist with their writing and help them to be able to work more independently. Some students may also benefit from verbally
stating their ideas and having assistance with writing down. This is particularly useful during creative writing as it allows them to use their great imaginations and ideas, which they may not be able to communicate if they had to write it themselves. They can then read aloud the written and take great pride in their long and creative
story.

Has anyone tried the Irlen Method (http://www.irlen.com/) for improved reading comprehension? The Irlen Method theories that looking through a specific color can greatly improve focus and comprehension when reading for people with learning disorders. Does it really make a difference? Is it worth the price to get screened and the corrective colored lenses?

Hi.
I,m an ex Uk resident who learnt to drive here in Holland. My nightmare is that some day I'll be driving on the left of the road and won't notice till too late.
I refuse to drive in England and shut my eyes as I'm afraid the left hand driving will stick in my mind. Does anyone have similar experieinces?

My grandson is 28 and has absolutely no education at all. His mother fought the school system for years trying to get help but there was very little help and very little interest in helping him. I think he went thru the 6th grade and then nothing more. He is not stupid and is a very hard worker. He has worked in construction and now a dishwasher. His employers have liked him and said he was their hardest worker. But, he now realizes he will never be able to take care of himself without better job opportunities and there are none without education and reading. His lack of comprehension is also a problem. We do not have the funds for someone to teach and I don't know where to begin to help him. I am 70 and retired. I live a distance from him but I know I might be his only help. Please advise.

Hello all. I've been reading about dyslexia and wondering if I might have some mild symptoms. I'm a decent speller and I excelled at reading and writing. I'll get mixed up on when an "i" is before or after an "e", but that's it. So I thought I was probably fine.

But, numbers get me. I'll see numbers in the wrong sequence, like reading 1962 as 1926. It'll happen for a split second and then I'll see it in the right order, but this happens to me a lot. I always got C's and D's in math and geometry was the only math that made some sense to me.

I was reading that mixing up right and left was common, having trouble telling time and reading maps. My sense of direction is awful. To this day, I still have to look down at my hands to tell right from left and I really have to think hard about directions.

So yeah, I have trouble with directions and numbers. Not enough to really disrupt my life, but enough to be a bit annoying. Can anyone relate?

Providing my son with regular time with a tutor has been vital for his learning, self esteem, confidence and ability to acknowledge his strengths but also to see areas where he needs further help.
However it has been paramount to provide the right tutor, one who understands him and relates to how he feels, acknowledging the difficulties he has but giving him the right strategies to empower him to move through his difficutlties and providing him with much needed confidence boosts to learn in the regular class room environment.

I am dating an intelligent, successful professional adult (61 yrs) and am finding his disability is severely damaging our relationship.
I want to help this person that I love, but I don't know where to begin. Although he acknowledges his dyslexia, jokes about it often, he minimizes the effects its' having on our relationship.
I am an educator who teaches ESL and I am ready, willing, and able to commit time to helping him and us.

Suggestions?
