BEAT ADULT DYSLEXIA
--------------------------


TOOLS FOR THE DYSLEXIC:LEARNING TO NAVIGATE THROUGH A NON-DYSLEXIC WORLD WHEN YOU VIEW THE WORLD COMPLETELY DIFFERENTLY
I had trouble comprehending reading assignments and I seemed to "miss" the format for how to write a proper essay in third grade. I would answer questions in a "jumbled" fashion and yet the teachers never understood what was happening in my mind. I also attended a non-traditional school for my graduate degree:an online university that was perfectly fine with granting me extensions to finish courses and wanted students to e-mail or call professors taking as much time as they needed to argue any problem. I want you to understand that despite my learning disabilities and my difficulties in school, I still managed to find ways to deal with my dyslexia continuing to be a successful individual. The most frustrating part of this equation is the fact that it doesn't really take a lot more energy to help dyslexics, but having a teacher look at themselves and ask "what do I need to do?" Many won't do this and instead pass the blame onto the student, and thus, the vicious cycle of dyslexia continues. While it negatively affects many, it can also positively affect individuals suffering from it. Dyslexia can be one of the most frustrating things to deal with in adulthood. If you were never this lucky, this article is for you because I believe I am a dyslexic and never had the opportunity to meet a caring teacher who was dedicated to helping me learn.


PUBLIC SPEAKING
Sometimes, in a dyslexic moment, I will be thinking so fast, I will not stop to think about what I am saying. Think about everything that you say and compile the sentence in your mind before speaking it. " This can be an extremely embarrassing mistake to make when speaking with an employer, someone you're interviewing with or new people you just met. If you find that you are thinking about things too fast, and thus stating something too quickly and fall into a flip flopping mistake, this is a tool that you should use.


VERB AGREEMENTS
Do not be afraid to correct yourself if correcting yourself means you are conveying yourself in a correct fashion. There are a couple of ways to combat the problem of inaccurate verb agreements. While dyslexics can flip flop pronouns easily, they also can have a tendency to use different verb tenses in a sentence.


WRITING
When writing letters, papers or memos, the same holds true. E-mail is an advantage to the dyslexic and incorporating it into your daily routine or how you deal with others will help you minimize the flip-flopping mistakes. I hope you will find e-mail easier for you when communicating with others.

Dyslexia is one of the most frustrating obstacles an adult can face in their adulthood. When handling standardized tests, you must remember to analyze where you go wrong while taking standardized tests. Make sure you have a clear idea of where you are going before you venture out in your vehicle. My struggles with dyslexia have seemed overwhelming, especially during the times in my life where I didn't know what I was experiencing was called. They will have tools you can use to help you in any area you are especially having trouble with.
