Parents are the first to sense that their child is not like other children. Unfortunately, parents incorrectly assume that their child is developing slower than other children and will catch up, or that their child is not as smart as other children. These assumptions just aren't true about children who are dyslexic, because by definition, many people who have been diagnosed as being dyslexic have average to above average intelligence! Please don't make the biggest mistake many parents make, don't hide this - get help for your child so that he or she can learn to live successfully with dyslexia.
