#29 Debunking the Top 10 Dyslexia Myths (Part 2‪)‬ Literacy Untangled Podcast

Continuing with our series on dyslexia myths, I’m debunking the top five things that people get wrong about dyslexia. Contrary to popular belief, people with dyslexia don’t simply confuse numbers and letters. More than 80% of individuals with dyslexia struggle with organization, planning, prioritizing, punctuality, and staying focused. Even so, having dyslexia does not indicate someone’s ability to be successful or thrive in the right working environment.

There are so many harmful misconceptions about neurocognitive disorders, so tune in to learn more about separating fact from fiction when it comes to dyslexia.
