Like many children her age, fourteen-year-old Eliza has been diagnosed with Dyslexia. But despite the challenges it creates, Eliza shares her experiences in this wonderful video as a way to educate people concerning this little-understood disorder.
As the video describes, all of our brains “parts” (frontal, temporal, and occipital lobe) are connected by many tiny electrical pathways. Children without dyslexia naturally learn to connect the things they see in their minds with the things they hear and see on the pages of books. However, individuals with dyslexia have electrical pathways which are connected differently. That means they have difficulties linking sounds with what they see, and with the words written on a page.
