A lot of this rings true with my brothers education and how they feel and cope and what they experienced through normal schooling.

A good one for teachers to watch and parents with dyslexic children.

Can't play the iplayer. It's for the UK only.

There are may forms of dyslexia. I play the piano, but I cannot read sheet music. For some reason, my mind cannot make sense of the horizontal keyboard and the perpendicular finger placement on sheet music. I've spent years translating sheet music to my own horizontal method I read down, instead of left to right. I've never met any one with my sort of reading problem, so it wouldn't be a hotbed for investment opportunities or publication, I presume.

Bookmarked :) Looks interesting, my schooling experience was fustrating with my dyslexia. I was pretty much treated as the stupid kid and the teachers focused on the student getting A's. I was thinking they don't need help there doing great I am the one struggling.
