Promotion Wendy Stone: Supporting Dyslexic Superheroes In Our Community “Dyslexia is not a pigeonhole to say you can’t do anything. It is an opportunity and a possibility to learn differently. You have magical brains - they just process differently.” Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice mathematical-based learning difficulty). Wendy describes it as a privilege to meet children with incredible Dyslexic super strengths and she is often left in awe of the resilience and diligence they have had to develop in order to cope with the associated academic challenges. What is Dyslexia? Dyslexia is a condition where the brain is ‘wired’ slightly differently to the non-dyslexic, meaning they have a different way of processing information. The wiring of the Dyslexic brain results in a pattern of strengths like critical thinking, creativity and communication skills. It also results in challenges affecting traditional learning such as reading, writing, spelling, rote learning, memory and concentration. Dyslexia is often thought to be ‘reversing letters’ when reading and writing but this is only one type of Dyslexia. How do I know if my child or a child I work with should be tested? Dyslexia is often first noticed by parents and teachers who recognize the child’s natural intelligence, but are puzzled as to why there is a difficulty with reading, writing or spelling. If any of the following statements appear true, further testing for Dyslexia should be considered for Grade 3 to 12 learners: - Your child appears intelligent but is unable to read, write or spell at grade level. - Your child does not test well in writing but does very well orally. - Your child has low self-esteem towards academic tasks. - Your child is easily frustrated and emotional about reading at school or tests. Wendy Stone, registered Dyslexia and Dyscalculia Diagnostician Supporting Dyslexic superheroes in our community As a qualified educator and psychologist, Wendy trained at the Stark Griffin Academy and became a registered Dyslexia Diagnostician in 2017. The Stark Griffin Dyslexia Academy is the first company in South Africa to develop a standardized Dyslexia assessment (also approved by the Health Professionals Council of South Africa) to meet the specific needs of Dyslexic children and adults in our country. Wendy is also qualified to administer the Stark Griffin Dyscalculia Diagnostic Test (Dyscalculia describes a Parents, teachers, psychologists, therapists and other medical professionals are encouraged to refer learners from Grade 3 to 12 if the child presents with reading and spelling difficulties which do not appear consistent with the underlying intellectual ability. Depending on the severity level of the diagnosis, Dyslexic learners can access support for tests and exams, including a reader, a spelling concession, additional time and a scribe (subject to review by relevant exam and school board). Psychologists who assess learners for the purpose of application for high school accommodations/concessions will still be required to complete the required battery of testing as stipulated by the DoE or IEB but are encouraged to refer the learner for a Diagnostic Dyslexia Test so that they can include an official diagnosis in their report, with the Stark Griffin Dyslexia Academy’s official recommendation for specific concessions. Testing days offered each month in Hillcrest, Umhlanga and Ballito. Wendy Stone: info@wendystone.co.za, 071 608 1191 (email communication preferred) 16 Get It • Ballito Umhlanga March 2021
