Then with respect David, you do not understand the problem. Dyslexia comes in many forms, in my case the strongest is an inability to find mistakes in text or code even though I know them to be there. The only way I can do it reliably is to cover the text and look one word at a time through a slot or hole. So for me it is not so much the making of mistakes that’s the problem (my treatment back then was to learn to touch-type and I’ve always been a pretty good speller) it’s to notice when I’ve made a mistake and then having noticed it when reading back to actually find it. That may sound strange, but it is so. Likewise I can write music music manuscript, but I can’t play it back. Also I can do complex sums (I did maths A level back in the 1860s) but if I transpose numbers on the page, well…
