she went for a dyslexia assesment test with aneducational psychologist. the first thing he said to her was, black people do not get tested for dyslexia, only white people, he also said that she should not have the right tobe their and she must have had another learning diffculty, and he did not even belive that she had dyslexia.
my cousin was very upset at his attitude towards her and she could not believe that the educational psychologist was so blantantly rude towards her. he was 100% sure that dyslexia was specifcally for white people, which bring to the question, why it is he said that, and what does he define, as a black person with learning diffculties.

Why? Because he comes from that school which believe Black people are naturally dumb...if your cousin is having probs, then he feelsthis is just a default of her being Black, because 'we' all have a naturall learning difficulty. Foolish man.
