Famous People With Dyslexia
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Dyslexia is a neurological condition that affects between 10 and 20% of the population in the UK. People who have dyslexia or dyslexia symptoms often have trouble with reading, writing and spelling. It can also affect concentration, short term memory, maths, coordination and communication skills. However, just because an individual is dyslexic does not mean that their intelligence is impaired, nor does it mean that they cannot achieve the goals or follow the career path that they have always dreamed of. There are a number of celebrities, from journalists to filmmakers and actors that have alleged dyslexic tendencies; Albert Einstein was even suspected to be affected by dyslexia.
Dore, an organisation based in Stratford upon Avon, offer a non-medicinal treatment programme for a range of learning difficulties. Whilst they do not believe in categorising those with learning difficulties, they do promote the importance of tackling it as early as possible.
A large number of other successful celebrities and famous entrepreneurs have been reported to be affected by dyslexia and Dore’s spokesperson, a well-known rugby ace completed the programme in 2006 after he was diagnosed with symptoms commonly associated with dyslexia and dyspraxia. Since then he has experienced great improvement in his reading, writing and co-ordination skills.
The programme is suitable for individuals of all ages and is designed so that it can be carried out at home. Activities take just 10 minutes to complete, twice per day. There is also an online support network, where people can access resources and other information to help them through the programme.
For further information, pricing and even a free online dyslexia test visit the Dore website. Alternatively, if you want to book a consultation for an initial assessment and to discuss the programme further with their team, give them a call on their local number.
