What do Leonardo da Vinci, entrepreneur Richard Branson, actor Robin Williams, former Beatle John Lennon and violinist Nigel Kennedy have in common? They are all dyslexic.

These high fliers have all been able to achieve thanks to their different thinking style. But not everyone is so fortunate - according to the British Dyslexia Association 80% of young offenders have dyslexia.

One Dyslexic's view of the alphabet

Dyslexia does not have to be a problem. The Dyslexia Wales course goes to the root of learning differences by using the natural strengths of an individual’s thinking and learning style. Dyslexic people are visual, multidimensional fast thinkers and with the help of Dyslexia Wales can use their natural abilities to enable learning.

Dyslexic people are intuitive and creative, they excel at hands on learning. Because they think in pictures it is sometimes hard for them to make sense of letters, numerals, symbols and written words, but they can learn to read, write and study effectively by using their natural learning style.

Unfortunately, the system used to educate this generation is ever more suited to auditory-sequential learning. This works well for the majority who can think with words, but for dyslexics who think in pictures, the education system is virtually unworkable. It is little wonder, therefore, that dyslexics are considered slow learners. For a dyslexic in school, learning is like trying to use incompatible software on the computer. Visual thinkers think fast, think laterally and are intuitive.

Conventional help for dyslexia addresses the symptoms but does not get to the core of the difficulties or release the talents of dyslexic people.

Dyslexia Wales was founded by Caroline Keen whose own children were unable to access the help they needed at school. As a result of her children’s problems Caroline gave up work and investigated numerous ways of tackling dyslexia, then studied dyslexia techniques for another three years. Caroline now practises privately, helping dyslexics on a one to one basis.

She explains what is happening in dyslexia, and demonstrates how using the imagination can make things different. Caroline empowers her clients to take responsibility for their own learning - a course with Dyslexia Wales gives clients the ability to switch in and out of dyslexic mode at will.

“Working with dyslexics is wonderful. When they understand what’s happening and then seeing them smile…it’s a reward beyond measure”, says Caroline.
