<p>One of my dear friends has been a professor with a PhD for many decades. He is severely dyslexic and has a wonderful wife that helps edit his work that is published internationally and has formed the basis for lots of math and science curriculum worldwide. Their son-in-law is married to one of my best friends. He is also dyslexic and a brilliant inventor with a masters in physics. He runs an alternative energy company.</p>
<p>By the way, Orton-Gillingham is one of several techniques/methods that are very helpful in working with dyslexics. My sister is a special ed teacher & has had amazing results when she used this with children with varying degrees of dyslexia. I am not familiar with other techniques but dyslexia is far commoner than you might realize.</p>
