I'm thinking about starting my own business.
When I was younger I was horribly dyslexic with numbers, but I helped myself overcome it. Is it a good idea to take what I have learned and help other people do so? I had the idea this morning and thought it'd be perfect, I like helping people.

I think that with the large number of Special Education specialists out there, you wouldn't be able to position yourself competitively in the market unless you also had a Master's degree in Special Ed.

He could have an auditory processing disorder. the question is what toyeif tests have been given and what do they tell. MY daughter is dyslexic and can memorize anything as well but the written wordis very difficult for her. As such the district here didn't recognise dyslexia as a formal disability anymore and i had to push it. I took her to a neurologist whom agreed that was it. There are many different things it could be from what you said and at the age of a second grader reading actually still isn't always coming "smoothly". Anything from ADD(i have 2 boys with that) to very mild autism can cause reading delays. To the fact that we push our kids to read much faster than we were reading than we did as kids. A neurologist is a good place to get some answers. Also most states have a parent advocy group that can be looked into. Don't give up hope:)

Some credentials might be a good idea. Maybe you should approach a nearby university and talk to a professor who is studying dyslexia. You can run your idea by them and ask their help in proving it right, but they might steal your idea for themselves. ("you will be *et. al*!!" boo hiss)
Or, volunteer in a local school that helps dyslexic kids to try to get a bit more experience under your belt. This plan also gives you a chance to try out your ideas. However, they may not give you an opportunity to try your ideas out.
Likewise, you may volunteer teaching dyslexic adults how to read. Same pros and cons.
However, neither of these is as risky as opening your own business. Doing what? Helping dyslexic kids? For a fee? With no PhD? No way. Good idea or not, it sounds like a scam. Get some experience and/or credentials under your belt first. After a few years, THEN you can open your own business.

very good idea!
I have the same problem. Mine is just numbers now as I only had the reading/letters part "corrected"....I am still terrible at math and can only do basic addition in my head, anything else I must have a calculator with me. To this day I feel if I had someone who helped me "correct" both problems I wouldn't feel so "behind" everyone else

Sure, Why not? Contact a support organization (http://www.interdys.org/). Also. here's a good one: to check a number that's been read to you, read it back in reverse, back-to-front. That will ALWAYS reveal switches and reverses.
