[> Subject: Re: Is there help Author: Kent [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 05:37:29 11/22/09 Sun The good news is that it is no longer a mystery how to teach people with dyslexia how to read and write. However, there is no one size fits all answer - one "program" may work for one person, but not another. The Wilson reading program is generally recognized as fitting well for adults with dyslexia. Either get yourself properly tested with a nuropsychological exam by someone who understands dyslexia or start with a well qualified Wilson instructor and see if that works. The International Dyslexia Association and its local branches can be a very useful place to look for resources, including names for tutors. You can do this! Last week I met a man who after retirement in his 60s got diagnosed with dyslexia and got tutored and has greatly imporved his reading and writing. Good luck.
