This is my story of growing up and what I went through to defeat dyslexia in my own life. However, there is so much more I can share with you about my struggles facing this learning disability. Do not let people label you Learning Disabled. Who you become is your choice and you do not have to accept (LD) as your label. Be determined in your goals. You can live a normal life. I believe in the Listening Progam because it helped me and many other individuals.
I actually have a few different stories here covering my life when I was growing up. One story may strike you differently or help you better understand my challenge of a Dyslexic life.
Hello my name is Ian Craven,
Life in the beginning was not easy. When I was only three and a half I had a speech problem. I could not express my thoughts to my parents. I got frequent ear infections preventing me to hear correctly. I threw many temper tantrums. All of this caused stress for everybody. To help this problem I was enrolled in a speech class for at least a couple of years. The speech therapist gave my mother lessons and advice on how to communicate with me at home. Over a period of time we began to see progress, but little did we know that challenges lay ahead of us.
Entering Kindergarten at the age of six, my teachers quickly noticed something wrong with me after the first nine weeks. I could not retain my colors, shapes, numbers, ABC’s, I wrote numbers and letter backwards. My mom sat down with me every night one on one helping me with my schoolwork. One night I recall asking my mother “why is everything so hard for me”? My mother heartbroken, responded “don’t worry were a family and we are going to get you some help.”
That summer my parents took me to see Doctor Harold Levinson in New York (Long Island) who is specialized in treating Dyslexia. My test results were disappointing, simultaneously though they were a relief revealing what was wrong with me. He gave us the first real answers to success that we were looking for. He treated me with different herbs, medicines and an auditory processing program. We visited Doctor Levinson for ten years.
At the beginning of a challenging dyslexic life I find myself asking the questions Why me? Why did this have to happen? Those questions are not the answers to dyslexic or any problem in life. Dyslexic has taught me to persist in your goals or that challenging math class or whatever it might be even when there are no signs of hope of ever being completely successful. It takes a persistent faith to push onward to become the person that not many believe you can be.
At a young age of seven I realized that I must not give up, but face my challenges in life. Though I was able to learn my colors and shapes and so forth, I still had a long way to go before I became superior of doing things on my own. I still needed to learn to read, comprehend directions, long and short-term memory, and gathering my thoughts before I say something. I have had a bad case of stuttering around trying to tell someone something. I also would forget what I was going to say to a person.
Going through Elementary school I had a speech and reading teacher who spent time helping me with my class work. Some of the teachers would give me answers to problems when they weren’t suppose to. I liked getting the answers, but wanted to be independent. I wanted a teacher who was going to push me to be my best and in no way feel sorry for me because I have dyslexia. Everyone has challenges in life, mine is dyslexia, but give me no limitations for what I can do.
In Middle School I did well getting all A’s and B’s. I ran every other day to help my dyslexia, which helped me in my schoolwork. I was not afraid to go out for football and track. In my eighth grade year I began an Auditory Processing Program of Learning Ears by Gayle Moyers. Gail Moyers helped me tremendously in ways that medicine could not. This program consists of listening to CDs with a special set of headphones. I listened to sounds of nature such as rain, birds, earth movement and orchestra instruments. Each of these CDs had a uniqueness helping me in comprehension, organization, spatial awareness, alertness, motivation, and so on. I listened to these CDs every day working up to thirty minutes. I also did an Audio Vocal Training Equipment Program. To do this program it involved using a microphone, two pairs of special headphones and sound equipment. These exercises helped me read faster and with a better quality of emphasis. It also made me more fluent in my talking.
In the past there were many long nights of frustration. I did not understand my homework. Sometimes I would cry, other times I broke my pencils and decided I was not going to do my homework. My mother made me do it though. Today I am better maybe ever thought possible. The Auditory Processing Program has replaced my medicine. Teachers do not recognize me as a dyslexic person. I have learning disabled friends and I help them with their homework. Some of my friends have lived in a shell and are not outgoing or social. I encourage them to break out of their shell and to be social. I believe in them and know they can do better in life. I know for a fact my friends can do better because I was severely dyslexic. I did not stop dyslexia from determining who I would become in the future. To defeat a learning disability it takes determination. If anyone reaches out their hand and reaches for determination they will discover success in their own life.
Troubled Times
Growing up was one of the hardest circumstances in my life due to dyslexia. My parents soon noticed I had a problem, but could not identify what was wrong with me. Before I attended kindergarten, I clearly demonstrated to my parents that I could not communicate properly. I lacked the ability to tell my parents what I wanted, so I pointed to everything that I wanted. Without clear communication, I constantly cried and started fits of rage, sometimes even destroying my bedroom.
When attending kindergarten, my very first friend turned out to be a very special acquaintance. My teachers knew I had a learning disability. Conversations were taking place between my parents and teachers, trying to figure out what was wrong with me. My parents found out that I had dyslexia through my friends’ parents, because their oldest daughter also has dyslexia. I can remember the day perfectly when my mother told me that I had this learning disability. She told me I was going to be upset when I heard what she had to say. My mother told me that I had dyslexia and that I also had to go to a different school for a year to get some help. After hearing my mom’s words, I broke down crying.
People most commonly know dyslexia as a learning condition in which people see words backwards. However, dyslexia is an auditory problem that causes more problems than just seeing words backwards. Dyslexia is different for everyone; I struggled significantly with presenting clear thoughts and speaking fluently to people. Today, I can talk to a person without stuttering or forgetting what I was saying. I have improved so much that I suspect only very observant people may identify a hint of dyslexia in me.
Dyslexia is a learning disability that makes a person feel that they will never be able to achieve anything in life. The best way to describe dyslexia is to imagine yourself with the disability. You spend hours, with all good intentions to do well on your home work. Only you find out later you spent effortless hours on your work, toiling for nothing. No matter what you do or how hard you try, your homework is condemned by the teacher and you receive F’s on all your homework assignments.
For a number of summers, I traveled from Ohio to New York City to have a doctor’s appointment with Dr. Harold Levinson. Levinson is a world-renowned psychiatrist and neurologist. He prescribed to me a number of herbal medicines I had to take three times a day, every day. One year Dr. Levinson prescribed to me to go through an auditory processing program. A lady named Gail Moyers who is a music sound therapist was in charge of the program. It is through the auditory program that I was taken off medicine and learned to cope with my dyslexic life.
In summary, Dyslexia is a disorder that has affected my whole life. Dyslexia is not only a disorder that affects a persons’ academic life, but it also takes affect on a persons’ emotions. Although dyslexia is a challenge, it can be overcome with the proper support and determination.
