Being a student with dyslexia, sadly, we are capped by some of the methods and materials in today's standard classrooms. These reservoirs are spring-fed by the originality, insight, knowledge, and humor that bubble up through students' experiences and emotions, just as they are made stagnant by repression of opportunity, frustration born of frequent failure, or sadness at self-designated duncehood. This article focuses mainly on how people can help dyslexic students and how to encourage school systems to shift the way they teach to help students with learning disabilities achieve good cognitive memory and understanding of what they are being taught.

Bois, Grazer, and Kamprad all are born as outcasts with their dyslexia. Gladwell successfully uses interviews with the three dyslexics, analogies between people with the disability and people without it, and his use of irony about their success to argue that people with disabilities often times are pressured into compensating for their disability, in turn becoming extremely successful.

To illustrate, Brian Grazer, “one of the most successful movie producers in Hollywood of the past thirty years”, whom suffered from Dyslexia struggled with school so much because of his disability (5). In school, he would often be “sitting in one place for an hour and a half accomplishing nothing,” because he simply could not read the words (4).

The inadequate support from the school and the local community is a major problem (Avramidis & Kalyva, 2007). There is lack of consensus (Nicolson, 1996), given that parents and schools do not deal with dyslexia in a serious way and they do not know enough about this condition (Department of Education,2004; Leij et al, 2001). Therefore, it would be crucial to have the continuous encouragement from the school principal and the school counselors. They should have the determination to work hard to claim funding from governmental and other resources. The existing infrastructure and the financial resources are highly insufficient in Greece.
