Just a quick update this week regarding ‘Dyslexia Thinking’, an Easter offer on Nessy programes and details of some SEN training.
If you are dyslexic and have a Linkedin profile, you can now add ‘Dyslexic Thinking’ as one of your skills. In fact, the phrase ‘Dyslexic Thinking’ is now going to be added to Dictionary.com as an official term, due to a campaign by ‘Made By Dyslexia’ .
What is ‘Dyslexic Thinking’? Well, dyslexic individuals can solve problems through their ability of thinking ‘outside the box’. They are often very artistic, have good imaginative skills and can see the ‘big picture’ in order to focus on important elements. Good spatial awareness means the dyslexic brain can usually manipulate 3d images and recognise complex patterns by retaining visual images. Knowing the strengths of those with dyslexia can help understand how individuals learn best and teaching can be adjusted to build on these strengths.
Several top entrepeneurs, including Richard Branson, use their dyslexic thinking skills to their advantage. Their creativity and strategic thinking combined with excellent verbal communication and problem-solving skills are what contribute to make them successful in the business world.
