About Glamour and Awareness drive

Glamor.Awareness drive.It was not intentional that glamor would enter the awareness drive for dyslexia.The glamor component came from citing of success stories of very many Dyslexics in the world of Shobiz and science,an odd couple!And of course some other fields too.These examples were given to show, that it is on record that Dyslexics can be successful in their lives.;and having dyslexia, does not mean that one should give up hope and become used to life as a failure.But these examples have made many a parent take the short cut.They happily, willingly admit the child to the prescribed Remedial classes, and sit back and expect that within a few days or weeks, the child will become an overnight success,like a ‘star’ or ‘scientist’.When they come to know its a phased out deliberate process, taking months or years of hardwork to show results, they want to discontinue the remedial sessions. They are willing to let the child suffer rigours of trying many schools.They spend thousands and consult more doctors and many psychologists, but get disheartened with remedial therapy.As for the child, he becomes a victim, of his parent’s, usual teachers’, and the society’ s impatience, and covertly eyes the ‘rich man’ s disease’.Have these people ever reflected why the rich man’ s offspring with dyslexia overcame his dyslexia?Is it a rich man’ s prerogative to subject his son to a 2 to 3 year course of remedial therapy, and again and again overcome the lapses and weaknesses till a sustainable progress is achieved, which sticks?If these poor parents, are forced to hear the life story of all those glamorized successes,they will realize how much hard work and perseverence was put into, to harness the dazzling brilli ant talent of these actors and scientists-once a Dyslexic, always a Dyslexic, it is how one motivates oneself, and consciously keeps his dyslexia under the edge of conscious control;thatkeeps the aware ‘Dyslexic’at his ‘peak of success’.Awareness is not just for the parents and teachers only, the child with dyslexia must be made aware of the kind of effort and also the direction his effort ought to take in order to perform as the other school children who are without dyslexia.
