HOW CAN WE HELP?
The ‘Invisible’ Disability
“Dyslexia is the invisible disability. The ‘D’ word is often not allowed in schools. Children are not specifically tested for it and rarely treated . . . Unfortunately, I have seen these students relegated to ‘learned helplessness’ by systems that just push them through.” - Pete Wright -
Learned helplessness is a conditioned behavior in which an individual gives up trying to escape a painful situation.
