I REFER to your article, “Checklist for BM teachers to identify dyslexics” (StarEducation, Nov 23). Some school administrators and principals have made dismissive statements like “Dyslexia does not exist,” “I don’t believe in dyslexia”, or “We don’t have such children in our schools.”
These sweeping generalisations are probably due to the many misconceptions that have, unfortunately, been linked with learning disabilities.
