Dyslexia Global Conversations

Our next guest on DGC is Aaron Dante Philips from the USA.
Aaron is not only dyslexic but also the visionary founder of Green Earth Sustainable Solution, Inc (GESS). He is a former Global Executive at Tesla with an impressive track record of 36 years in environmental sustainability, he has successfully built and implemented comprehensive zero waste and sustainability programs from the ground up.

Furthermore, Aaron is the compassionate force behind DPX4Life, an organization dedicated to bringing hope and meaning to less privileged and marginalized individuals.

During his live appearance on DGC, Aaron will courageously share his personal journey of growing up with dyslexia and the challenges he faced, leading him to attend a specialized school due to his slower learning process. Despite these obstacles, he defied all odds and achieved remarkable success in life.

If you are a parent with a child struggling academically, you definitely don’t want to miss this conversation. Likewise, if you are a teacher, this is an invaluable opportunity to gain insights and become an advocate for change within your own educational setting.

Dyslexia Global Conversations, organized by the Africa Dyslexia Organization, is a transformative dialogue that shines a spotlight on dyslexia on a global scale. Through engaging conversations like these, the initiative aims to foster understanding, collaboration, and innovative approaches to support individuals with dyslexia. By amplifying diverse voices and perspectives, Dyslexia Global Conversations paves the way for inclusive education and creates a world where every individual can thrive, regardless of their learning differences.

WHO ARE YOU TO THE CHILD ?

The Adult Reading History Questionnaire (ARHQ) is a screening tool designed to measure risk of reading disability (i.e. dyslexia) in adults (Lefly & Pennington, 2000), but it can also help measure risk in children, especially before school age. Reading disability is highly heritable: about 30-60% percent of children born to a dyslexic parent will develop dyslexia. Thus, one way to estimate risk of reading disability in preschool children is to evaluate parents’ own reading history. The following questionnaire was developed using parents’ reports of their own reading history as well as actual testing of their children’s reading skills. If a parent scores high on the ARHQ, their child has a higher risk of developing a reading disability. It is important to note that the ARHQ is only a screener and does not constitute a formal evaluation or diagnosis of either the parent or the child. If you have concerns about your child’s reading progress, we recommend that you contact your child’s school, a licensed child psychologist, or your child’s primary care physician about pursuing a more thorough evaluation to investigate the nature of these concerns.

The Colorado Learning Disabilities Questionnaire – Reading Subscale (CLDQ-R) is a screening tool designed to measure risk of reading disability (i.e. dyslexia) in school-age children (Willcutt, Boada, Riddle, Chhabildas, DeFries & Pennington, 2011). Normative scores for this questionnaire were developed based on parent-reports of their 6-18 year-old children, as well as actual reading testing of these children. Willcutt, et al. (2011) found that the CLDQ-R is reliable and valid. It is important to note that the CLDQ-R is only a screener and does not constitute a formal evaluation or diagnosis. If you have concerns about your child’s reading progress, we recommend that you contact your child’s school, a licensed child psychologist, or your child’s primary care physician about pursuing a more thorough evaluation to investigate the nature of these concerns.

The Adult Reading History Questionnaire (ARHQ) is a self-report screening tool designed to measure risk of reading disability (i.e. dyslexia) in adults (Lefly & Pennington, 2000). The ARHQ asks adults about their own reading history and current reading habits in order to estimate the risk that they may have a reading disability. Normative scores are based on actual testing, and Lefly & Pennington (2000) found that the ARHQ is reliable and valid. It is important to note that the ARHQ is only a screener and does not constitute a formal evaluation or diagnosis. If you have concerns about your reading skills, we recommend that you contact a licensed psychologist or your primary care physician about pursuing a more thorough evaluation to investigate the nature of these concerns.
