This page: Telling the Time
 |
Elapsed Time and DyslexiaSome people have a body clock that is so accurate that they wake up a minute early in the morning to put their alarm clock right. Because of their particular processing difficulties, many dyslexic people are, let us say, not blessed with this particular characteristic; and the concepts of elapsed time are not only difficult to grasp numerically, but also difficult to relate to their experience. We have two resources on this page that relate particularly to the understanding and experience of elapsed time. |
