Dyslexic: Self-Intervention

Abstract

Nothing is impossible in the modern world of technology. Even a dyslexic girl is able to solve her language problems with the supporting tools from the latest technology. This paper reveals the story of an undiagnosed dyslexic child aged sixteen years old who had been struggling for more than ten years, without knowing she is dyslexic and what dyslexia is all about. Findings indicated that her will to achieve success in her life was the most powerful tool that brought her this far in life. Her success in school led her to believe that nothing is impossible. She once said being dyslexic is “troublesome but not problematic”. It is hoped that school authorities, educationalists and members of the public will review their roles in the talent development of dyslexic children, where they should acknowledge their shortcomings and help these children reach their dreams like any other child in this world.
