Ozzy Osbourne about Dyslexia …

„When I was at school they never understood what dyslexia was, and I’m terribly dyslexic. I start reading a book and I’m reading a line backwards, or I read the same thing over and over again before I realize what I’m doing.

„All my children have the same problem and the reason I moved to Los Angeles in the first place was because England or Great Britain didn’t have very many schools for dyslexia and attention deficit disorder and LA does. I mean, they have everything there, including f**kin’ pet psychiatrists!“

SPÖ fordert Legasthenietrainer statt Psychologen

Edith Koch und Josef Auer
Die Tiroler SPÖ fordert eine bessere Früherkennung bei Legasthenie. Mit gezielten Schulungen an Pädagogischen Hochschulen und Ausbildungsstätten für Kindergärtner soll eine schnellere Früherkennung gefördert werden.

Früherkennung kann Leseschwäche verhindern
Wenn schon im Kindergarten Ansätze zur Legasthenie erkannt werden, können durch gezieltes Training die späteren Schreib- und Leseschwächen in der Schule sogar verhindert werden.

Legasthenie sei keine Krankheit, sagt Legasthenietrainerin Edith Koch. Vielmehr ist es eine Schwäche, die durch Wahrnehmungs-störungen und psychischen Stress verursacht wird. Mit diesen so genannten Problemkindern befassen sich derzeit die Schulpsychologen.

Für SPÖ ist das der falsche Weg
Josef Auer, der Schulsprecher der Tiroler SPÖ, fordert statt Psychologen mehr Legasthenie- Trainer in Schulen einzusetzen. Damit die Symptome rechtzeitig erkannt werden, verlangt Auer vom Land, eigene Fächer an Pädagogischen Schulen einzurichten.

The DVD features Sir Jackie – who was not diagnosed as having the condition until the age of 41 – speaking about how he struggled while at school.

Sir Jackie, who is president of the support group Dyslexia Scotland, said that when he was at school he was told he was „stupid, dumb and thick“.

And he said he believed the DVD, created with the support of Dyslexia Scotland, would give youngsters with the condition more hope that they could go on to lead a successful life.

He added it should also improve awareness of the learning difficulty among teachers and education authorities, leading to earlier diagnosis of the condition.

Sir Jackie said: „There are so many people being left in the dustbin of life through poor education and the education authorities have

to make sure all of our teachers are fully versed on early recognition of dyslexia so they can help all those people out there.“
