More Tips to Keep in Mind

Hey everyone, as I was looking over the Family Education webpage, I found an awesome article regarding aspects of high school students with dyslexia. I think this article will send a positive message and offer you guys some great tips and possibly a new outlook.  Here are some key points I've outlined for you all, I think these are some valuable things to keep in mind.
Having good communication with any teacher can be a challenge all high school students face.  Sometimes talking to your teacher about your learning problem can relieve some big issues and be much easier than you may think.   Speaking up can really pay off in terms of getting the help you need, you must remember teachers are by no means mind readers! :)  Your teachers will do their best to accomodate you in order to help you to learn the best way possible.
Don't get stressed out with information overload.  Think outside the box of ways you can get the information without getting stressed such as ask your teacher for a written copy of notes, access to lectures online, or if you could bring a recorder to class.  Some teachers may not be thinking about how stressful lectures can be in class especially if you have a little bit if trouble note taking.  Having a hard copy and/or alternative access can take the pressure off the clock and getting each and every detail correct in class.
Focus on your strong qualities, don't let dyslexia get you down!!  There are tons of sports, clubs, and other extracurricular activities offered, so go ahead and try something new, you never know what you'll be great at until you try!  And if you're still worried about being dyslexic, remember it's estimated that 10% of the population has dyslexia so remember you're not alone.  You can find the article and more information here http://school.familyeducation.com/learning-disabilities/reading/37594.html http://ldawa.org/LDAdrupal/node/60
