My husband and I just finished watching today's Oprah show. We were thrilled to hear Mr. Winkler discuss his Dyslexia. Six years ago through testing we discovered that our children are dyslexic. I wanted to pass on our thanks to Mr. Winkler for his openness. My younger son who is now 12 enjoys reading his books, and it is exciting for us that he can now read them. My 14 year old son watched Mr. Winkler's segment and it was nice for him to see that there are positive possibilities in his future. The path of a dyslexic is not easy. Our public school system simply ignore Language Learning Disabilities. Our boys have been fortunate to be able to attend a private elementary and secondary school for child with Language Learning Disabilities in the Seattle area. Unfortunately, not many children with dyslexia have the opportunities to attend dyslexic schools due to the financial constraints. We need to encourage our country's leaders to establish funding for children with Language Learning Disabilities. Children with dyslexia simply do not fit into the stereotypical box. These are smart children with so much to give our society. We can not allow them to flounder and feel that they have nothing to give. Provided the right tools and opportunities, children with dyslexia will someday grow into productive adults giving back to our society much like Mr. Winkler.
