Out Of The Dark
This story of a 28 year old dyslexic just came in:
Annemarie, 28, has had dyslexia her entire life. Her self confidence and overall school performance caused her to give up on her dreams of college. Upon leaving high school she has worked in retail without expecting to advance.
Before coming to Gemm Learning, Annemarie was having difficulties at work. She needed to listen to voice mail messages several times to hear the phone number or understand the person's name. Her spelling was atrocious and her co-workers could not read or understand the messages.
Three weeks into her Fast ForWord program with Gemm Learning Annemarie reported that she was no longer having trouble writing phone messages. In addition, she was better able to recognize her spelling errors.
When recently discussing her progress, Annemarie told us, “I feel like I am finally out of the dark.” She now feels when she has her own children she will be able to help them learn to read.
Annemarie is now an avid reader, her reading comprehension is much improved. She has more confidence and is thinking about college. She hopes to work in the education field, either as a teacher or as an advocate for children with special needs.
