Three myths about how neurodivergent people learn.
1: "They just need to try harder."
2: "Accessibility settings fix it."
3: "It is one condition at a time."

Not so simple for people with dyslexia, or some other forms of neurodiversity. I don't firm habits easily because of the recall issues that are part of my dyslexia. I make memories but then can't find them without external prompts.
This means my world is already full of visual and alarm reminders just to get me to meetings or have a chance of doing tasks on time.
It's makes life very noisy.
I've yet to find any method in books or articles that takes this into account.
Does anyone have any experience setting up #Stardew Valley for someone with sufficiently bad dyslexia they are basically functionally illiterate. I know it's possible and there's a complete modkit to the point it supports blind players but I was wondering if someone had a rather smaller set of mods just for dealing with text to speech ?

70 hours of OG (#OrtonGillingham) #dyslexia / #reading training done. Was intense but well worth it. Finally kind-of-sort-of on summer break (but still doing #CyberSecurity class also, so ...). Going to go back and review all the materials over the next few weeks, though.
Looking forward to working with students next school year. Looking forward to doing some research on using it with #EnglishLearners, also. Seems to be a gap in the research there.
My small white board disintegrated years ago.
I decided this week I need a replacement to use for my to do list, to have it in a single place and easily updated.
My ongoing efforts to manage my dyslexic brain sometimes result in spending on things that don't work or trying to learn stuff I can't, but the whiteboard was useful in trying to keep track of characters in the novel.
Fingers crossed it works, as since the eye ops I'm struggling to keep up with too many strands of work.
I make very brief notes, just keywords.
That works for me because the main issue with my dyslexia is my problem in recalling information.
It took me a long time to realise that I didn't have a bad memory but that I don't have a good 'filing system' so I cant access my memories when I need to. With key words from discussions I can recall them almost verbatim. Without that I sometimes can't recall anything.
Getting help with spelling and reading is well catered for but they aren't the only problem. At uni there was usually a 20% difference in my exams and coursework marks, but all they offered was extra time or a scribe, neither of which helped.
