Do you know someone with dyslexia?

It will be 10 - 15% of our population, some will never be formally diagnosed.?

It wil be a secret for them, they will be using so much energy just to get by that it will be exhausting, every minute of every day.

What are we doing about this you might ask? I know I did and then I found out more, take a road if you want to find out more too.

The Dyslexia Foundation of New Zealand was set up in 2006 by parents who knew people needed help, and they have been on a mission ever since.?

In that time it has helped people recognise, understand and take action. It advocates in three area: education, justice and workplace. Much progress has been made.?

The last part of the puzzle is a sharp focus on families. Those that have dyslexia need support, so do their supporters and although the first signs of dyslexia show up in learning struggles, it’s their emotional and physical wellbeing that’s crytical and here is why.?

When a young person starts to notice they are different from their friends, they start to install beliefs that do not serve them, as such:

I am not good enough.

I am not smart.

I can’t do this.

I am a failure.

The literacy component is only one aspect of dyslexia, the other that has been invisible is their self-belief. This can last a lifetime and as each year goes by, the limiting belief gets stronger, making life harder, reflecting all of the above beliefs even more.?

And the truth is this can be changed fast and it lasts.?

We have been asked by the DFNZ to write a program for exactly this, we did, it’s done, it’s working and the best bit it is so easy to make the changes.?

We work with children and adults, empowering them, giving them mindset power tools, we use Neural Coding ?.

We identify a limiting belief.?

Delete it.

Install an empowering belief.?

Along with DFNZ we launched this initiative a while ago at Milbrock, Queenstown, Andrew Beecroft the NZ Children’s Commissioner endorsed DFNZ’s Belief Change. The Family Journey.

It’s all done in three sessions online.?

When someone has self-belief their journey becomes much easier, their confidence soars, their self-worth ramps up and life becomes lighter, smoother and lived through a lens of more than, rather than less than.
