ADHD and Dyslexia: Dual Diagnosis

Why read me: 

Understanding the differences between Dyslexia and ADHD is crucial for parents and educators alike. Why? Both conditions coexist often.

This article clarifies how these conditions manifest, their diagnosis process, and practical strategies for supporting children with dual diagnoses.

Tip Box:

Community is key on this journey. Remember this. Work closely with your child’s school to develop a comprehensive support plan that addresses both Dyslexia and ADHD.

Dyslexic Talent: Steven Spielberg

This week we portray an international talent, famous for his cinematic talents, Steven Spielberg. He was diagnosed with dyslexia in 2007, when he was 65 years old. The diagnosis led him to understanding why he would struggle with reading and other activities in school, which also complicated the relations with his peers and teachers.

Note that the setbacks never stopped Steven from leading a successful career in cinema. The unique thinking and brilliant creativity is part of movies such as E.T., Jaws, Schrindler’s List, Jurassic Park, and many other iconic pieces. His dyslexic brilliance has been part of many of our childhood’s and inspired other directors in decades.
