Dyslexia Addventures is dedicated to everything under the sun about dyslexia. Dyslexia is close to my heart since one of my daughters is dyslexic. I want to share my experience of 'discovering' dyslexia, accepting it and helping my daughter cope with it, until she found the dyslexic advantages within herself to zero in on her passion, which she is following at the moment. She is working towards making her passion into her career. I believe that dyslexia is NOT a disability but neurodiversity. And people with dyslexia succeed because of their dyslexia and not despite it.
