Popularity

This is the 56th most popular campaign

Our campaign is simple. All we want is for people to understand that dyslexia is not the politcally correct way of calling some-one stupid. Dyslexia is the most common learning disability and is found in people of all levels of intelligence. It is a proven learning disability and is thought to be the result of a "neurological difference". What we want to do is raise awerness and help people to understand what Dyslexia is. 10% population have dyslexia and we would like to think that in the future we can change peoples thoughts and attitudes towards the issue of students being fast-tracked into 'the slow class'.

Comments

Dear Rosalia and Kitty, Hello. Just wanted to to let you know that we're looking for our next lot of Battlefronters and we wondered if you're still running your campaign or even another one? If you're still interested in being part of the project it would be great to hear from you. You can contact us via the front page of the website or direct to me e-mail address. Cheers! Angie

Hiya, Good luck with this campaign :)I fully support and admire what you are trying to do, one of my best mates was found to be dyslexic 4 years ago, and at that point other students would take the 'p' about it and even some teachers, he was also then put into lower ability classes because of him having dyslexia, yet he is/was increadalbly clever, yet some people didn't understand what dyslexia meant so discriminated him and treated him really badly... I hope you can make a difference and change the negative stereotypes! Good Luck... xXx
