I was curious how a clickbait site had such a great article, and discovered it was copied from the Promethean Trust, a British charity set up by Tom Burkard who was an early promoter of systematic phonics in UK schools.  Here’s the original:

I posted it into the ‘Dyslexia’ group on Facebook, where it immediately attracted viperous commentary.  Some writers were outraged that their Gift was being maligned, others were insistent that dyslexia could not be cured, did not need to be cured, could be treated with coloured filters, diet suppliments, and so on. 

Others talked how cruel this article was to their dyslexic child who could not tie his shoelaces or remember her cat’s name (nothing to do with dyslexia).  Others spat that the writer obviously knew nothing about dyslexia.  Oddly, myth #8 drew particular ire.

Within a day, the group administrator pulled that offensive post down.

So a worried mom comes looking for advice.  She hears “Dyslexia can’t be cured. Your son simply thinks differently. Dyslexia is a gift, he will be awesome when he grows up.”  The schools don’t say any different (at least until the child fails OSSLT, after which it’s not their problem anymore).

We know that intensive intervention cures dyslexia, but it is hard work, and requires huge commitment of time, money, and attention.  It requires URGENCY.  The bad and conflicting advice on the internet drain that urgency So mom doesn’t act, just sends the kid to school, pretends he’s doing well, and hopes. 

The forces of darkness are winning.
