A Brief Bio of Barbara Dianis
Barbara Dianis from Texas has a master's in education. She is also an author and public speaker. Her various roles include serving as a coach for parents, students with ADD or ADHD, or students requiring academic help. This special Ed teacher lives in Dallas, Texas.
Her credentials include pioneering learning systems for schools, and assisting parents and tutoring students with learning disorders for twenty-one years. Her books include, "Don't Count Me Out!" and "Grade Transformer for the Modern Student, Early High School Edition."
An Educational Process for Defying Dyslexia
The interview began with a comprehensive description of what dyslexia is. It is a disorder in which a person sees the order of numbers or letters in reverse order.
Barbara evolved her teaching experience from her own difficulties as a youngster. She had dyslexia as a child and was told that she would not go to college. Refusing to give up, she taught herself to correct her errors. Over time, she stopped making mistakes, her dyslexia almost completely gone.
Barbara's family were educators. Consequently, she dreamed of going to college, too. Her grit and determination not only got her into college, but it also helped her excel there.
Dyslexia is much more of an issue than most people suspect. In fact, as much as 15% of school age children may have it. However, due to strong compensatory skills, this learning disorder may not be discovered.
It is only in High School that those with dyslexia find it hard to cover up their problems. This is because the curriculum has become much more intense. Students find it hard to focus, and because they can't focus, they don't understand the material.
Barbara also discussed the invaluable need for defying dyslexia by developing self-esteem and motivation.
Barbara is a keen advocate of the benefits of self-talk. She teaches her students to say things like "learning is neat," and "school is fun." This builds in a belief that they will be able to get good grades and do well in school.
As a teacher, Barbara focuses on helping students understand what they are strong in and what they are weak in when it comes to academics. Much of her teaching stems from her own experience as a child when she had dyslexia. She knows that students who work hard have a good chance of doing well academically.
When it comes to defying dyslexia, it is something that any student who is motivated enough can do.
