I am dyslexic,,, very,,, even to math and numbers. I went through many years of a special school called Alphabetic Phonics to basically learn to read and write again. I went from failing in my freshman year of high school to A's by my senior year. I even went on to college and made the Dean's honor roll and A's in English. But nothing helped in math or with numbers. To this day I have to have help with money. I just want to let any dyslexic out there that there is hope.

Wow, dyscalculia, too. {{{hugs}}}
There really is hope for at least the dyslexia. Glad you did so well.

I should definitely check this out. We have a student with dyslexia and I probably say tone-deaf things without realizing it (which I guess is redundant!).

lol It does make you realize how hard these people actually have to work.
