"Prasini Priza" means "Green Plug" in Greek. My son could not remember how to pronounce the word "Prasini" (green) at the age of five. So, I painted a green plug. I was singing with my boy "Prrrr, Prrrr, Prasini Priza, Priza Prasini, Prrrr, Prrrr", emphasising the fact that both words begin with the sound "pr". We sang and danced at this rhythm, we passed the plug to one another and we had a good laugh. My son enjoyed it so much that in a few hours time he said "Can we play Prasini Priza?". It was a rewarding moment for me as I realised that he had remembered how to pronounce the word "prasini" without any help from me. I said "We play in a minute, could you please tell me the colour of these leaves?". He said "Prasini Priza" (in a couple of days he learned how to use the word "Prasini" without using the word "Priza"). I realised then what special education is all about. I realised how much can be achieved with the multisensory method. I made a promise to myself that if I ever did anything that involved special education and learning difficulties, I would name it "Prasini Priza".

When my son, Constantinos, was three years old, I noticed that he could not tell me the names of colours, he mixed up the meanings of certain words and at times he would forgεt the names of his closest friends. I knew that he was smart boy and yet there were things that he could not do as well as I thought he should do for his age. When Constantinos turned four, a friend mentioned to me that he might be dyslexic. Constantinos had a screening test. He was put in the «high risk population» meaning that there was a high probability of being diagnosed with dyslexia when he took the proper test (any time after he turned seven and had been tought how to read and write). I was determined to find out everything I could about dyslexia so I searched the internet, I read books and I went to seminars. I took the Hornsby Correspondence Course for teaching students with learning difficulties/ dyslexia. Special education can be used to teach all children, whether dyslexic or not, with learning difficulties or without. So, I thought that even if Constantinos was not dyslexic, he could benefit from a special education curriculum designed for children. I finished my course when Constantinos was five and a half years old and my younger boy, Thalis, was one year old. I started using new methods to teach Constantinos colours, numbers, letters, maps and so on. I was fascinated with the speed he would learn and grab information when being taught in this special way. The more Constantinos learned, the more I wanted to understand the whole process of his learning. Constantinos is almost twelve years old today and has been diagnosed with dyslexia. He is thriving at school and his teachers cannot believe he has dyslexia. He has learned to develop his own methods for remembering things (dyslexia has to do with low auditory memory). My younger son, Thalis, a seven year old boy , is also showing signs of being dyslexic. This time I don’t feel any of the stress that I felt when Constantinos was at a similar age. I know he can do well at school and I know that with proper education he will be just fine. Special education can work wonders. I feel that my children are blessed with dyslexia. They have humour, they have their own special practical way of thinking and they are good at sports, dancing and computers. They can be very inventive and creative. I just have to remind myself that I need to adapt to ‘their’ way of thinking and learning! |
