I am trying to help poor kids in Mexicali, Mexico. 5 of them have dislexia. We have no access to internet and I come to check e-mails once a week. Any games I could print out would be helpful. These kids struggle with b,p and d
mostly.

Games are a really useful in teaching dyslexics. It takes the pressure off learning which can get a bit full on if you always do written tasks.

Great attitude, Chris! While I do believe genetics play a role in learning disabilities, I acknowledge that there’s not much we can do about addressing that factor right now. Hopefully, some targeted therapies can be developed in the future.

Thanks Lei.

If anyone is interested in genetics then check-out Lei’s blog. More genetics than you can shake a stick at.

As it happens, genetics and dyslexia / autism / ADHD is something I deliberatly do not cover on Myomancy. Partly because I don’t think genetics play a signifcant factor in these problems and partly because its very deterministic. I believe everyone can be helped regardless of their genes or current abilities.
