Hi! Try not to present dyslexia as a 'disability'. Try presenting it as a 'learning style'. People learn in different ways: Some learn better with music stimuli, some learn better with colour stimuli, some prefer rote learning, some learn and remember better linking the information/spelling etc with an action (Kinasthetic learners.
Try to look up the phrase 'multiple intelligences' on the internet.
Also, try to look up famous pop stars, actors, scientists etc who live (and succeed) with dyslexia as part of their lives.
