Learning difficulty or learning difference?
why A 'LEARNING DIFFICULTY' may not be a disADVANTAGE.
There are numerous well-known individuals in various fields, such as actors, musicians, athletes, scientists, inventors, authors, and businesspeople, who excel despite having dyslexia.
Globally, dyslexia affects around 10% of the population, making it one of the most commonly recognized learning challenges. Compare that with the percentage of entrepreneurs with dyslexia, 35% in the US and 20% in the UK.
Individuals with dyslexia are often associated with visual thinking, creativity, problem-solving and taking initiative.
Companies are realizing the value of having team members who offer unique perspectives, can think differently and ‘see the big picture.
Dyslexics are already hard-wired for the future and will become increasingly valuable to a management team.
