Dyslexia Awareness Month is coming to an end but those that
suffer from the disease will continue with their struggles. Every person with this
disorder is challenged with different things. My 11 year old daughter is
dyslexic and deals with it like a champ. Sure she has her moments of throwing
her hands up and wanting to give up. But we have taught her that she has to
work that much harder to overcome the simplest tasks. I have learned that I
must be her strongest advocate and I have learned that I shouldn’t have to
apologize to her school because they now have to make provisions in her curriculum.
Recently we heard about Chromagen lens glasses that help
with dyslexia, color blindness, migraines and other disorders. We made an appointment with one of the doctors
I saw on a WFAA channel 8 News segment in Plano, Tx. My husband and I sat in
the waiting room hoping and praying these glasses would help her out. The
doctor was amazing and came out several times after testing, re-testing and
testing her again and told us that with the glasses her reading level improved
by 10-12% immediately. I was so excited for her and knew we had to purchase
these glasses for her. So after they
picked me up off the floor when they told us the price for the glasses we got
them ordered and went home to wait for them to come in the mail.
Her new glasses came in and she loves them. They look
different due to the purple lens color but she has an amazing attitude and was
able to take all the questions and comments for her classmates. The glasses are
helping her focus more at school, she is able to complete most of her homework
on her own and she has more confidence in her work.
