The Dyslexia Empowerment Plan by Ben Foss
After years of battling with a school system that did not understand his dyslexia and the shame that accompanied it, renowned activist and entrepreneur Ben Foss is not only open about his dyslexia, he is proud of it. In The Dyslexia Empowerment Plan he shares his personal triumphs and failures so that you can learn from his experiences, and provides a three-step approach for success:
- Identify your child’s profile: By mapping your child’s strengths and weaknesses and assisting them to better understand who they are, you can help your child move away from shame and feelings of inadequacy and move toward creating a powerful program for learning.
- Help your child help himself: Coach your child to become their own best advocate by developing resiliency, confidence, and self-awareness, and focusing on achievable goals in areas that matter most to them.
- Create community: Children with Dyslexia are not broken, but too often the system designed to educate them is. Dare to change your school so that your child has the resources to thrive. Understanding your rights and finding allies will make you and your child feel connected and no longer alone.
Packed with practical ideas and strategies that children need for excelling in school and in life, this empowering guide provides the framework for charting a future for your child that is bright with hope and unlimited potential.
