Dyslexia is a GIFT - Karl the Leeuw tells us why.

For far too long dyslexia has been seen as a curse. It’s time to celebrate the gift that dyslexia can be. According to research, just three per cent of Britons consider dyslexia to be a positive trait. Being a parent of a dyslexic child, and having dyslexia himself, Karl de Leeuw can say with confidence that 99 per cent of dyslexia intervention is based on the notion that dyslexics must ‘correct’ their brains by developing their left hemisphere—commonly associated with logic, mathematics and writing—instead on harnessing the phenomenal power of the right hemisphere—which deals with creativity, intuition and perception. That is the ‘common wisdom’, but Karl asks if it is perhaps time that we flipped this idea on its head and, instead, that we view dyslexia not as a curse to ‘cure, but a ‘gift’ to nurture. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lucia-matuonto/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lucia-matuonto/support
