Dr Beverley Steffert: Chair of the Arts Dyslexia Trust "Dedicated to changing the word - to the image" ...! Susan Parkinson, Chief Executive Officer ADT ''We learn language to begin with by listening to what is being said. Sounds are organised according to their relationship in time and so speech is therefore one- dimensional.Written words can also only be understood when read in one direction. Visual information, on the other hand, is organised according to its relationship in space. It is therefore three- dimensional. We can see an object from different angles. This gives us very much more information than can be conveyed by a name or description of that object in words.'' |
