Dyslexics Wanted, Part Three

Problem-solving, creativity, and mistake-proofing

In part one of this series I described what dyslexia is and how I linked “dyslexia” with “lean.” In part two, I suggested an approach to training in the work place called “universal design for learning” (UDL), which takes into account those who learn differently from others. In this part, I will discuss how lean techniques allow people with dyslexia (and other populations for whom written or verbal instructions might be difficult) to function and contribute within the organization.

Those who have dyslexia have an ability to look at things much differently than “normal” people. It also just makes sense. Their entire lives, they’ve had to deal with discovering ways to make it, or to pass, in a world that is not well suited to them.

transparent vs opaque

“dyslexia” with “lean” is a great practice article. As English is my 2nd language, I suffer dyslexia and just smile when other people laugh or anger for some sentences. I agree with you that creative give me more fun and let me feel better.
I mostly think different from other. For my big idea “Transparent Filter Bag for Vacuum Cleaner”, the advantages of a clear bag is significant and better than current opaque filter bag for vacuum cleaner if you or wife vacuum at home, but most experts just don’t believe it. Is it common sense for us “transparent is better than opaque”? transparent make us comfortable and feel everything is on hand.
We need good speaker to promote, and also need dyslexia create and discover “mistake”, so that we can improve together as a great team

Life verses Reality

Thanks for bringing to light something a lot of people misunderstand. Many people with this condition are considered by others as being lazy or stupid. Speaking for myself and others I know who suffer from Dyslexia; "We are hard working professional people who may not see the world as others see it, but we do see it. Sometimes that seeing of things differently is what is needed to help solve the problems others can't see because they want it to be so cut and dry. People who "suffer" from Dyslexia do not suffer from it we embrace it. I thank the Lord everyday he made just a little different than the majority of people."
