The site, Headstrong
Nation, provides help to the world’s largest disability group—those with
dyslexia. It includes videos, books, and other resources for those with
dyslexia and those working with those with dyslexia. You’ll find information on
classroom accommodation tools and mapping children’s dyslexia. The fact section
features information such as: 35% of American entrepreneurs are dyslexic, there
are many different ways to read, being dyslexic does not mean those who have it
are slow learners or stupid, dyslexia is not something anyone outgrows, and
boys and girls are just as likely to be dyslexic. The mapping feature
encourages parents and teachers to assess children’s strengths and attitudes by
using the assessment survey provided. Areas used for mapping are Visual,
Kinesthetic, Spatial, Narrative, Social, Verbal, Musical, and
Mathematical/Scientific. Resources
available on the site help parents and students learn to use technologies to
help with learning, learn to understand the world of dyslexics and those with
attention deficit disorders, and learn to understand how disabilities affect
family dynamics.
