Myths vs. Scientific Facts

Myth: Dyslexia is a vision problem or seeing backwards.
Scientific Fact

Dyslexia is a neurological language-processing difference in the brain's phonological component, not an eye or vision defect.

Myth: People with dyslexia have lower intelligence.
Scientific Fact

Dyslexia is entirely unrelated to IQ! Dyslexic thinkers often exhibit extraordinary spatial reasoning, creativity, and strategic problem solving.

Myth: Children will naturally outgrow dyslexia.
Scientific Fact

Dyslexia is lifelong, but with early structured multisensory instruction (like Orton-Gillingham), individuals achieve full reading fluency and success.

Real Experiences & Stories

What Parents & Families Say

Heartfelt feedback from parents and caregivers supported by the Philippine Dyslexia Foundation.

"When I noticed that my child was having a difficulty in reading and writing, I immediately tried to ask around for referrals who could give my daughter the attention and help she needed. Out of all the contacts that I’ve reached out to, it was Philippine Dyslexia Foundation that actually heard and listened to me, and gave me realistic options."

Researcher & Mother of Gab, 8 yo • Manila, PH

"Philippine Dyslexia Foundation was a great help in identifying and addressing the reading difficulty of my son. Their immediate action and detailed assessment report was very much appreciated."

M. Ramos

Mother of 8 yo • Manila, PH

"He (my son, Derrick) made it. He made it in Sta. Clara University. He made it in 14 colleges. He made it in UP and Ateneo. He also now got a job, a part time job though. And in that job, he was acknowledged to have exceptional writing and those skills that have been developed. I feel that all these things are brought by the intervention that was done in the foundation (PDF)….I am a proud parent who had witnessed the transformation of my child, and where he is right now. We are forever grateful to the Philippine Dyslexia Foundation."
