Do you know someone who was labled "Dyslexic"?

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2017

Verified Purchase

There are no words to describe how important this film is if you are a person who is dyslexic. As a woman who was tested and found to be extremely dyslexic, I couldn't understand why the world didn't get me. It was after watching this film and realizing just how different the world is, to how dyslexic people perceive things was vastly different than everyone else. As an artist, dyslexia is why I became so good in my career.

This film explains how vastly different the dyslexic person experiences the world. The truth of the film is so shocking for someone who is dyslexic, that I have purchased this film over 10x and given it to people whose families dont understand why they are so different if they are extremely dyslexic. As an adult who is the CEO of a company, this film is required viewing for every employee.

There have been multiples times when a new employee, after watching this film, is crying at the end of the film. They suddenly realize that someone they know is dyslexic and how wrong they were about the impressions of what the dyslexic person was doing. This film opens the window to people who are normal so that they can understand dyslexia, and how its far far more than simply switching numbers and letters.

DVD adds another layer of excellence

Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2019

Verified Purchase

Although a bit dated, this is one of the best videos to show to a GenEd staff. I have shown it to the four schools I have had the privilege to lead. The DVD has the added improvement of having chapters so that the entire video can be shown or specific areas can be viewed at different times. This is especially critical when you have to break viewing sessions apart due to time constraints. Although the entire dvd should be watched; the section on Fairness is one everyone must see. Other sections which are critical are: Experiencing Frustration, Anxiety, and Tension (F.A.T.), The Effect of Visual Perception on Behavior, and Reading Comprehension.

Will Change Your Understanding of Learning Disabilities

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2015

Verified Purchase

I saw this workshop years ago during my college years and never forgot the impact it left on me. It will change your understanding of learning disabilities. Richard conducts this workshop as a simulation and not as a role-playing activity. To get the most out of this workshop, I'd recommend you participate in the simulations - have paper and pen ready, your remote to pause during each exercise, and a mirror. Take your time. Take several days to finish the workshop. Live it. You will come out as a more sympathetic person at the least, or an advocate for the learning disable as Richard hopes.

Every teacher and parent of a child with a learning disorder should see this video!

Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2019

Verified Purchase

I am a parent of a child with non-verbal learning disorder, ADHD, social pragmatics communications disorder and anxiety and this video finally showed me what its' like to live in my daughter's world at school.. It was so eye-opening for me and my husband. Now I understand why she cannot answer some questions immediately as she is still processing the question. We saw first-hand what its like to have very weak visual-spatial skills and that once things are shown in a different way, they can be seen. I cannot believe this video has not been updated since the early 90's when this was filmed, however, it all still applies. Every school system should have a copy of this and mandate that all teachers view it, especially those who have students with learning disorders in their class.

I thought this was pertinent enough that other teachers should see it. The dated feel is easy to get past. For me, it was worth the purchase. PBS has the full video or significant excerpts if you wish. If you do that - you should donate to PBS - they are awesome.

A must see for parents and teachers and coaches and clergy and friends!!!

Very thought provoking presentation on learning challenges. Beautifully done, in that the "teacher" doesn't just talk about learning disabilities, he creates them in the audience so that you can feel a bit more of just how it feels to be a learning disabled individual.

Educational AND entertaining

Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2018

I am a social worker and have been using this video for years to help parents with a child with learning disability understand what he/she is dealing with. It is a GREAT video. Nobody has VCRs anymore, so I bought this DVD to replace my well-worn VHS copy. I consider this a must-see for anyone struggling with understanding what it is like for a youth who has a learning disability.

Children with learning differences need understanding

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2021

Verified Purchase

I had the privilege of attending a F.A.T. City workshop led by Rick Lavoie some 30 years ago. Although some language is 'old school', the message is loud and clear that parents and educators need tools to make a child with learning differences feel good about themselves.

Whether you have a child with learning difficulties, or are someone who grew up with learning issues, you will be totally blown away by this video. Show it to everyone in the family, but most importantly show it to the child concerned. It will save their self esteem, their confidence, their life!
