Yes, the good old emoji.
They’re not only a good way of illustrating your text messages without using words that may or may not be spelt right, they can also give you a good hint on whether you are using the right word. One example is putting “over hear” but meaning “over here”: if you end up with the ear emoji in your phone emoji suggestions you know you’ve put the wrong version of “here” in.
In this podcast episode, Usha Patel shares her journey from architect to neurocognitive therapist, driven by her own struggles with reading and spelling. Since 2008, she has aided numerous children and parents dealing with dyslexia, dyspraxia, and ADHD, offering tailored solutions for each individual. Through play-based therapy sessions, she uncovers how each child learns, fostering trust and understanding. One effective but underutilized method she employs is the Infinity Walk, developed by Deborah Sunbeck in the 1980s, which aims to enhance coordination and sensorimotor skills. The episode explores Neurocognitive Therapy, its potential benefits for individuals and families, the Infinity Walk method, reading techniques, and challenges dyslexic individuals face in the workplace. If you’re a parent dealing with dyslexia or ADHD, this episode is essential listening.
