Throughout the sessions, our aim was to help a group of children who have been suffering from dyslexia. It is a difficult task as treating dyslexia is a profession and almost all of us do not qualify to be a professional. I still find it difficult even the 9 sessions are finished. Theories about dyslexia have been taught. However, a real treatment is not only involved theories, but the clients themselves. Different clients have different symptoms, so the theories can be an aid, but not all in the treatment. That is why I find it difficult as to hold a successful treatment need a lot of experience. Throughout the course, I have a lot of concerns and some of them cannot be answered until now. It is confusing that how to help the client to tackle his problem. I remember that the instructors always emphasised that we should arouse the clients’ interests and to be friendly with them as they are children. Firstly, it is not easy to find out their interests. As my groupmates and I tried some times, we finally discovered that he likes “UNO” and enjoys to play with a group of people. Also, children’s emotions are uncertain. This moment, they could be happy and the next moment they could be sad. We must be very careful and dedicated to details, otherwise it is hard to get along with the clients and gain their trust. We encountered those embarrassing moments as well, but luckily the client trusted us and be more and more cooperate

    Bois, Grazer, and Kamprad all are born as outcasts with their dyslexia. Gladwell successfully uses interviews with the three dyslexics, analogies between people with the disability and people without it, and his use of irony about their success to argue that people with disabilities often times are pressured into compensating for their disability, in turn becoming extremely successful.
