Hi guys, Im suspecting my niece to be dyslexic. I want to bring her to Dyslexic Centre in Shah Alam and arranged an appointment with coordinator. However on that date I was running late as I need to prepare 3 children, and we miss our appointment. The coordinator seems not helpful enough to arrange second appointment.

Is there any Doctor, hospital or clinic I can refer to for dyslexia assessment?

Hi abubin,

Eventually we managed to get an appointment with Dyslexia Malaysia (shah alam). Done with the assessment and yes, my niece have dyslexia. Now the whole family know that the kid has dyslexia. My priority now is to understand this kid's perspective and think of interactive and interesting way to teach her.

We'll enroll her in dyslexia programmed run by the Org. So we'll see how it goes from there.

With numbers upside down, more like mirror image. When asked why, she said the teacher write it on the blackboard. We all know that no teacher would never do that. She even sit at the front row (due to her parent's request).

One more, she has difficulty arranging days in a week. ex: What comes after Friday, she will answer Monday. When asked why, her answer is : teacher says "See you on Monday!". Dyslexic children tends to think and process the information much more different than normal ppl. However they are much more smarter than you could think.

I suggest you to get help from dyslexic centre. One tip tho, don't see the world as we used to see it. See it from dyslexic point of view. Sometimes their way of thinking is correct but we see it as weird because its out of norm. Don't get easily tired to explain to them how the world works, lead them to a normal social interaction. Watching TV will never be a quite one, you'll bombarded with so much questions.
