Famous People with Learning Disabilities

There are many famous people with learning disabilities in the world today.

 Having a disability does not have to be the end of the world for your child.

There are lots of people who we admire that became successful with various learning disabilities.

One of the most known learning disabilities is Dyslexia. Dyslexia is a condition which the individual has extreme difficulty reading, writing and spelling.

In our schools most teachers are trained to identify a child that might be dyslexic. After the identification is made the parents of that child will have him evaluated and tested to confirm or ignore any suspicions.

Among the famous people with a learning disability are actors, entertainers, scientists and inventors. 

Here are some of the famous people with Dyslexia:

Whoopi Goldberg - Actress

Tom Cruise – Actor

Alexander Graham Bell - Inventor

John Britten - Inventor

Albert Einstein - Scientist

If there is any doubt in your mind about your child being successful in life think again.

As long as the disability is identified at an early age and the right teaching methods are implemented he will do great.

Confidence building is one of the key areas emphasized in children with Dyslexia.

The child thinks he is a failure and can never get anything done in school. He is labeled as dumb among his peers; this is why early detection is very important.

All children will not be academically inclined but that does not mean they are not intelligent.

Take Alexander Graham Bell for instance, he invented telephones back in 1876. He was also dyslexic.

Most if not all of the famous people with Dyslexia will tell you that they struggled in school at some time or the other.

With an accurate diagnosis and the correct teaching strategy your child can live a rewarding life and have a successful career.

In my opinion people with learning disabilities are not disable they are just differently able.
