I have just read this article in The Guardian which quotes British researcher Joe Elliott as saying that dyslexia does not exist, "there is essentially no difference between a person who struggles to read and write and a person with dyslexia ... Dyslexia is such a broad term, he argues, that it is effectively meaningless [and] we should stop using the word dyslexia."
A few years ago I was approached by a student at the local college of education who wanted a group of stufents to complete a survey of some type. I immediately agreed as I believe that we as teachers have a professional responsibility to help form the next generation(s) of teachers. But this gave me a great idea - how to improve my school's program and its teaching with targetted interventions, for free!
