Welcome to Dyslexia Discovery
My name is Ann Farris and I am a dyslexic, a fact I learned in midlife. Initially I felt sorry for myself. Then, because I had a driving need to improve my quality of life, I decided to treat this discovery as a positive challenge.
The benefits I have derived from my research and willingness to change are many. Today I am more grounded, less reactive and mostly free of dyslexia's pain and confusion. Also, I am reading with more joy, comprehension and retention.
While technically I'd always been able to read, the challenge I had with concentration and retention of information I discovered came from other sources. Years of research and exploration have convinced me that these difficulties were caused not only by brain differences, but also by other factors such as emotional behavior, a moving internal energy/feeling, even refined sugar.
My new book, The Other Side of Dyslexia, describes the process I went through to reach these conclusions along with a methodology for dyslexics on how to implement a program to change their quality of life.
The Other Side of Dyslexia is personal, innovative and full of hope for those who have been discouraged by dyslexia's limitation. A unique, refreshing view of this condition.
For those who would like an overview of my approach you will find my new DVD, Dyslexia, Taking Control of Your Confusion, an informative and useful tool. This DVD is a taping of one of my introductory classes.
Finally, I have designed this website for dyslexics, parents of dyslexics and those who provide services for dyslexics. You will find a new approach to handling the pain and confusion that comes with the experience of being dyslexic.
This website also contains information on classes offered along with a questionnaire that you are invited to complete, about your experience with dyslexia or with dyslexics. The Forum provides an opportunity for dyslexics and others to interact on topics related to dyslexia.
Enjoy exploring.
