Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a common learning difficulty that can cause problems with reading, writing and spelling.
It's a "specific learning difficulty", which means it causes problems with certain abilities used for learning, such as reading and writing. Unlike alearning disability, intelligence isn't affected.
It's estimated that up to 1 in every 10 to 20 people in the UK has some degree of dyslexia.
Dyslexia is lifelong problem that can present challenges on a daily basis, but support is available to improve reading and writing skills and help those with the problem be successful at school and work.

What are the signs of dyslexia?

Signs of dyslexia usually become apparent when a child starts school and begins to focus more on learning how to read and write.
A person with dyslexia may:
  • read and write very slowly
  • confuse the order of letters in words
  • put letters the wrong way round – such as writing "b" instead of "d"
  • have poor or inconsistent spelling
  • understand information when told verbally, but have difficulty with -read more-also check out possible help -http://www.devon.gov.uk/index/learningschools/school_dyslexia.htm-http://www.netmums.com/northdevon/local/index/support-groups/special-needs-dyslexia-http://devoncf.com/apply/apply-for-a-grant/

25 year wedding blessing a non starter.

this year me and my wife Enid have been married 25  years and we wished to have a blessing.but here comes the best bit ,getting a  celebrant was no problem as contracted a lovely lady -Debbie Merritt-who came to visit and discussed cost and what was required for the day. the bits were quite honestly hard and got fed up with fact when mentioned the word wedding or blessing the costs of venues and caterers went up or were disinterested due to small number of guests numbers not our fault only have a small group to invite ,the same attitude was extended when ask for level access due to my wife not being able to walk every well .yes i know some of you will say why not do it yourself but  we wanted to make it special as never had a honeymoon so i hope no one else has this hassle.
