Written language disorders such as dyslexia can be very disabling on a daily basis for people who suffer from it if they are not handled in the right way. But it is sometimes difficult to put oneself in their place to understand what it really generates.
A few years ago, the Dyslexia Improvements platform, which offers help videos for parents of dyslexic children, unveiled a poignant video campaign that perfectly illustrates the reading and learning difficulties that the disorder can cause.
For those unaware, dyslexia is characterized by confusion and inversion of sounds and letters. Thus, for a little less than two minutes, Dyslexia Improvements wanted to highlight the different effects caused by dyslexia when reading a short text.
It then appears in three dimensions making it almost unreadable at times but also with jerky words like a puzzle, which suddenly disappear or which undulate and move in all directions.
According to the narrator who specifies the different biases, the texts rarely remain still for people suffering from dyslexia, which tends to make reading tiring and accentuates the difficulty of understanding.
Many people have welcomed the initiative to the point of inviting all parents and teachers to watch it to put themselves more in the shoes of children during the first years of learning that are so precious for the future.
The perfect opportunity to (re) share with you this intelligent campaign by the Sydney Dyslexia association plays with origami to raise awareness of dyslexia.
