Dyslexic children’s parents are their greatest allies when it comes to advocacy. But it’s still ultimately the teachers that are responsible for educating the children, and the strategies of those two groups may not always line up. When a child has a learning disability like dyslexia, it’s imperative that all educators and guardians in that child’s life be able to cooperate — and then allow those children to eventually advocate for themselves.
Why Advocating For Your Dyslexic Child Is So Important
This video, Dyslexia and Learning Differences, highlights the ways which parents and teachers can work as a team to implement strategies for their children. A key element to ensuring the development of a dyslexic child is implementing methods of patience and understanding. These plans can help dyslexic students in both in the school setting and in life, and can teach them how to advocate for their disability and seek help when necessary. This, in turn, can lead them to success.
In addition to these strategies, you’ll also want to get a program started to develop their weaker micro-skills. By building up these small skills you’ll develop better reading skills in your child.

“When it comes to self-advocacy, I think its never too early to teach your children how to be good self-advocates, of course when you do that with someone whose five its different than when you do that with someone whose fifteen but I think we are the first role models to our kids.”
