Capitol Hill Blue Forums Life and Moral Issues Education Dyslexic Kids

My son was PROFOUNDLY dyslexic and, after the Mansfield TX public schools pretended to help him for over a year, made zero progress.
Then a friend gave us a bunch of colored transparent sheets and told us to have
him try each different color, and ONE of the colors would help "rewire" his brain
and help him read better.
Sure enough, the BLUE colored sheets placed over the page worked like a miracle, and within
four months he went from sub-1st grade reading level to ninth grade level just like that.
And he eventually didn't even need the colored sheets at all.

Later we saw ads for "Brain Balance", a program offered by a PRIVATE after school center
for kids with learning disabilities. For about ten thousand dollars, the Brain Balance
people would let your kids use colored reading glasses to fix their dyslexia!

A MIRACLE, and ONLY TEN GRAND!
You can even SEE "the magic glasses" in this infomercial at the 3:29 mark.



So we have now come full circle, where public school systems refuse to help kids who need it and private companies charge a fortune to do what public schools USED to do...HELP KIDS LEARN.

If you're wealthy enough, you can help your kids with learning disabilities. If you're not, you get to raise a failing child.
Tough beans.
