		<description><![CDATA[Will the new iPad help our hinder dyslexic children to improve their literacy skills?

This is a good question – a bit of a tricky one to answer – but a good one nevertheless.

At Dyslexic Brian we love any resource that encourages dyslexic children to develop their literacy skills whilst having fun – and we feel that the iPad will do this job nicely.

A great feature on the iPad is its onscreen keypad that looks so, so, sooooo touchable – who wouldn’t want to tap away all day on those sexy looking keys?!

We are going to check out if any touch typing tutorial type applications are available for the iPad – we’re guessing that there are – in which case if you’re dyslexic and lucky enough to have an iPad already, then download a touch typing Application and start learning to touch type in style!

		<description><![CDATA[Explore your dyslexia by doing a self-characterisation sketch

One of the techniques that we use at Dyslexic Brian, to assist the people to overcome their dyslexia, is called a self-characterisation sketch*, (or sketch for short).

(*N.B. a self-characterisation sketch is a technique devised by George A Kelly (1955) and used in personal construct psychology)

We have found that using self-characterisation sketch can be a good way for many people to begin the process of exploring their perception of dyslexia.

		<description><![CDATA[This exercise has been designed to assist you to reduce some of the negative feelings that you might have towards your dyslexia.

The exercise is made up of seven simple steps – these are outlined below to give you an overview of what it will take to do this exercise:

1) Make a list of all the things about your dyslexia that you feel negative   
     about

2) Prioritise your list

3) Write each heading from your list on separate pieces of paper

4) Explore the negative aspect of each issue

5) Write down how you would like things to be regarding each issue you 
     are focusing on

6) Start working out how you would bring about changes to create the 
     way you’d ‘ideally’ like things to be

7) Write an action plan and act on it

		<description><![CDATA[Step one: Make a list of all the things about your dyslexia that you feel negative about (and/or wish to overcome)

Make a list of all the things that you are feeling negative about towards your dyslexia; a few words will do. Don’t worry too much at this stage where you start from as you will prioritise them in the next step of this process. For now simply list all the things that are making you feel negative about your dyslexia. Write down anything that comes into your head!

		<description><![CDATA[The next thing to do is to write down how you would like things to ideally be regarding the issue you are focusing on.

Here’s an example of what Antonio might have written several years ago before he overcame his dyslexia:

"Being dyslexic (1)  

“Antonio would love not to be dyslexic. He would love to be the same as the other students and be able to write assignments without having to spend two weeks on each one.”

		<description><![CDATA[Now here’s the tricky bit. Start writing down how you would bring about the changes needed to create things the way you outlined in step five of this exercise. 

Here is an example: 

 "Being dyslexic (1) 

“Antonio really needs to start focusing on his dyslexia. He needs to find someone to support him with his assignment writing so that he can learn to structure his writing better and save loads of time writing each week.”

		<description><![CDATA[The final step is to write an action plan that you think will help you bring about the changes that you wrote about in step six. Once you have written your plan put it in to action and see if it gets you the results that you are after. If it doesn’t then review your plan and rewrite it if you think of a better way of bringing about the changes you want.
