The latest discoveries on dyslexia are considering the condition with a new approach, not just as impairment, but also as an advantage and mainly in specific scientific and artistic fields. Dyslexia is a disorder that involves many parts that science does not reveal everything about it yet; however, there is a series of brilliant studies that have presented that many dyslexic people have unique insightful capacities. As an illustration, there are two scientists who have presented a mounting body of proof that dyslexic people have "sharper peripheral vision than others" (Paul 5). The cognitive scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Mr. Geiger and Mr. Lettvin deliver a remarkable attestation of the scientific truth that the

In the second study, Mr. Schneps intentionally blurred a group of pictures, and that by decreasing the high-frequency features in a way that made them look like astronomical images, and then presented these images to groups of dyslexic and no dyslexic undergraduates. The typical readers were unsuccessful to understand it, while the pupils with dyslexia were able to learn quick and make use of the information in the images (Paul …show more content…
Therefore, we have to find that way in order to help dyslexics students to be successful. As a parent of a dyslexic student, it was very helpful for me to read and research about dyslexia, which made me really understand my daughter better. I am now able to help her in a positive way. In addition, understanding about dyslexia gives me the passion to look to my daughter’s strengths instead of just looking to her weaknesses. By working with her and giving her support and encouragement, we can overcome her weaknesses. Furthermore, it helps me understand the way that she thinks, and now I’m able to assist her to find a good instruction that better fits with her learning style. It’s very important for parents and teachers to be very knowledgeable about dyslexia in order to help dyslexic students to find their ways to succeed. Throughout my research, it is evident that the best way to help dyslexic students is to identify their level of disability at an early age. With increased requirements for training, parents and teachers will be better prepared to quickly assess and identify dyslexic students to give them the help they need as soon as
