    Jack Horner’s “The Extraordinary Characteristics of Dyslexia” challenged my perception of dyslexics. He contrasts two different mindsets and gives encouragement to those that may feel burdened by dyslexia. Horner struggled with dyslexia growing up and even failed out of college multiple times. He persevered through his failures, learned to think outside the box, and achieved success as a renowned paleontologist. While most might view dyslexia negatively, Horner views it as a way of understanding the world that in some ways is superior.…

    My time spent interning for Donald Takacs was a significant period in my undergraduate career and one which nurtured my interest in school psychology. Donald Takacs, president of the “Dyslexia Society of Connecticut” had partnered with the University of Connecticut to create his Phonics-based Multisensory Reading program. Mr. Takacs introduced me to Dr. Sally Shaywitz’s science-based program for reading difficulties through her book “Overcoming Dyslexia”. The consequences of stereotyping individuals with this disability and lack of detection were clear and disheartening. As an intern, I applied the knowledge I had gained from Mr. Takacs by developing weekly lesson plans for three early elementary school students who showed signs of reading difficulties. In the process, I was able to converse with their teachers and parents regarding their progress and the nature of our program…

    Once, called away to an unanticipated school conference, I began drafting my short noticed speech with a yellow wooden pencil. Unfortunately this graphite loaded, eraser-tipped writing spear has become an alienated object as I readily admit my dependence on a new technology of writing. I found that I had become so used to composing virtual prose that I could no longer draft anything coherent directly onto a piece of paper. It wasn’t so much that I couldn’t think of the words, but the deliberate physical effort of handwriting, crossing out, revising, cutting and pasting was much too tedious. The writing practices that I had been engaged in regularly since the age of four, now seemed to overwhelm and constrict me as I longed for the flexibility of digitized text.…
