All children. Peer group pressure can be a terrible hammer to self-esteem. Being part of 'the gang' is all important, especially in adolescence. A general improvement in awareness and understanding of dyslexia, and all 'special' needs. Very achievable if people want it enough. My own son's 'mates' are aware of his dyspraxic/dyslexic differences, and are very supportive. I tire of being told by teachers 'we don't want to do that (when suggesting a different approach to an activity), it will make him look different.' He is different...and proud of it!
