Scientific studies have shown that home owners who display mirrors around the house are likely to do better in life and exhibit more confidence. In addition to helping to boost your self-confidence, mirrors help you with interior decorating issues, particularly if you do not have a lot of space to play around with.

Interior decorators may recommend you to deploy a free standing mirror if you want to create the effect of having more room. If it’s a case of a room that isn’t as spacious as you would like it to be and you’re not enamoured at the idea of breaking walls or altering the entire furniture with something that might make the space seem broader, a few well-placed floor-to-ceiling mirrors can very well have the desired effect. By reflecting the entire room, mirrors give the impression that there is twice as much room available.

But, you can not just go hanging mirrors anywhere you want to. Mirrors will not help if large items of furniture are blocking them, for example. Pick a wall that will give people fewer chances to see the reflections because this could lessen the illusion of space that you’re wanting to create - across from some good oak bookcases could prove an ideal location.

Of course, mirrors are integral to certain items of household furniture in some rooms - vanity sinks, for example, will have a mirror which will add to the sense of depth and space.

To create the best illusion of space, study the room’s arrangement and find those parts of it that are not the opposite of where people sit. Do not forget - the mirrors do not have to cover the entire surface of the wall, just the whole height. If you do it right, your floor to ceiling mirrors will give the illusion that there are entrances into different rooms, creating the illusion of more space.

Dyslexia is a neurological disorder in which the brain seems to be unable to properly interpret the signals it gets from the eyes and ears resulting in the confusion of symbols and sounds perceived. Dyslexia usually shows itself by way of difficulties in reading, spelling and converting common words into sounds. It is a widespread condition with as much as 10% of the population having to deal with some form of dyslexia.

In the last 25 years we have learned a great deal about dyslexia, especially in the last 15 years or so. Dyslexia in children is now routinely screened for and detected in elementary school and before. We now know that children with dyslexia learn differently and need special training to overcome the difficulties they might otherwise experience.

Those of us who finished grade school more than 15 years ago had a rougher go of it. Most dyslexics got branded as “slow learners” or “underachievers” and were stygmatized by this type of label. They felt shame and embarrassment and tried hard to conceal their differences.

It is estimated that up to 95% of adult dyslexics remain unaware of their condition. A simple easy-to-take dyslexia test could identify their condition and set them on the road to overcoming their dyslexia problem(s).

Dyslexia symptoms in adults include problems with reading, a reluctance to read anything aloud, difficulties in transcribing messages received by phone and being employed in positions below what their intelligence and experience would seem to warrant, these, among a longish list of other related symptoms.

Most of what has been learned about dyslexia comes from clinical studies, focussing on the problems of dyslexia. However, there is also a positive side to dyslexia. Dyslexic people seem to learn to think in different ways from non-dyslexics. They learn to visualize the whole picture rather than the details of the parts. Many excel in fields where this is important, fields such as architecture, graphic arts, acting and business.

This phenomenon is so common and the trend is so pronounced that such people are said to be “blessed with dyslexia”! There are many, many famous people with dyslexia. Famous dyslexics include Jay Leno, talk show host and comedian, Anthony Hopkins, actor, Anderson Cooper, American journalist and entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson.

The key point for adult dyslexics is to find out whether or not they are dyslexic. If you have any of the possible symptoms you should get tested as soon as possible. The sooner you know that dyslexia is a problem to you the sooner these problems can be overcome.
