My son who is 10 yr old this year had been diagnosed with Dyslexia when he is 5 years old.

Yeah thanks I have dropped them a email. I dunno if I am over anxious or not coz I suspected my dd1 was dyslexic too at around this age but she turned out alright. Hope my dd2 will turn out likewise.

umm this is a 2006 list. I'm sure the number of schools on the list has expanded.

Hi, would you be able to share the updated list? I believe the previous list I posted contains the list of primary schools that will have educators that are more experienced to work with children with dyslexia since those are from the pioneer batch.

My niece is suspected to have dylexia. She lives in Hong Kong and attends local school there. There isn't much article on how to teach Chinese characters to dyslexics. Can anybody share tips on how to help her?

I have dyslexia. When I was young, our teachers made us wrote in the air, while reciting the strokes. ie. Shu, heng, zhe, heng = ko. Then we took turns and went up to the blackboard to write the character. That was re-enforced by a weekly spelling and dictation test. So we had a multiple dimension education. As a matter of fact, I only remember the Chinese words I learnt up to primary three. After that year, they stop making us sit on the floor and do the stroking exercise.

My mother found me a tutor for my Han Yi Ping Yin because I have no clue how phonic works. It turns out to be easy as long as you speak Mandarine properly. I master it within one-two lessons. My memory is a disaster but I seldom fail my Chinese papers.

I think that in HK, the pace of learning Chinese character is alot faster than the local schools. So they have to prepare to spend alot of time doing that.

I suspect DAS does not teach you how to teach Chinese. One of my cousin attended the course.

Thank you. I will share your experience with my sister. I think learning Chinese is more difficult for dyslexics
