Rather than admit their policies are wrong, the liberals pretend millions of perfectly healthy, intelligent young people are in some way disabled.
Dyslexia was recognised as a legitimate condition and given the name it bears today over a hundred years ago. Victorian England was hardly renowned for its liberal educational policies.
The journalist has made his or her ignorance quite plain. Getting different coloured exam papers has nothing to do with dyslexia. That is connected with Irlen Syndrome, which may coexist with dyslexia but is in reality another condition. Secondly, phonics based reading programmes are of no use whatsoever to somebody who has auditory processing difficulties, as is the case with many dyslexic people. As a substantial proportion of dyslexic people are visual thinkers, they need to be taught to read through a visual system.
Infuriating as this rubbish is, Esther is right - it is just an opinion piece. The journalist provides no evidence to back up these claims - presumably because it is hard to argue with the profusion of MRI scans that show that the brains of dyslexic people function in dramatically different ways when they are presented with verbal information.
