Dyslexia: 'We want solutions not arguments'
Amid the fury, created by Dr. Julian Elliott's assertions that he cannot distinguish dyslexic individuals from other slow readers, has arisen an affirmation from scholars and many others in general, who are much more capable. After tutoring for years, I find it laughable (great, big, deep belly laughs, laughable) that this man who holds a position as an educator wants to use this obvious publicity trick to promote himself. I have seen both types of students and yes, I can distinguish them even though I am not an education professor. As for the range of intelligence, some dyslexics are exceptionally bright, others are not. Those who work in literacy training know that a broad spectrum of readers exist. Does a "dyslexic label" actually help anyone's status? I haven't seen where it has. Perhaps, the esteemed professor would argue that this simple reflects my very limited exposure.On a more serious note, there may well be a reason why a higher proportion of students in wealthier schools are designated dyslexic than those in the less fiancially advantaged schools. If a student is considered simply lazy, anxious, unattentive, dull-witted or unmotivated, then resources do not need to be allocated to help them develop their potential at whatever level it may exist. Blaming is an age old method for avoiding responsibility. As more techniques are developed, the descrepancies become more evident. If this inadvertently helps some slow readers who really are not dyslexic, I see no harm in that.
