Self-awareness and self-advocacy groups

Many dyslexics are capable of achieving far above average. Several famous creators have produced outstanding achievements despite or perhaps owing to their dyslexia. It is essential for dyslexics to know this side of their peculiarity, as well. In order to be able to manage themselves appropriately, it is important for dyslexics, to accept themselves and to gain the acceptance of others, as well as developing an assertive attitude. This is only possible provided they know themselves, their strengths and their weaknesses. Peers struggling with similar problems can be of great help. Self-advocacy groups are invigorating in several respects. In this module, we are going to present these crucial internal and external supports that play an important role in the integration of dyslexics.
