If young people need help understanding the teacher's instructions, they may struggle to sit still in class and quickly become distracted. Insomnia and sadness: Anxiety and depression can cause people to "space out" and lose interest in what they are hearing. APD...

Whether you've dealt with one or a hundred dyslexic children, it's critical to understand their unique needs. In technology, I may provide alternatives to one-size-fits-all solutions.  Experimenting with numerous tools is vital for determining what works best for your kids and their needs.

If you are concerned about dyslexic pupils' unfamiliarity with technology, don't let it hinder their learning. Most young people today are technolog...
