Pamela,
I was with you right up until you got to the point about "exercises that can be done with the person with dyslexia." Don't you believe it, Pamela. For small children, there are eye exercises that help increase muscle control and may help them to focus better, and for older children and adults there are coping strategies that can help the student to function more effectively. But nothing that you OR the student can do will make him/her any less dyslexic. It may effect the IMPACT of the disability, but not the nature of the disability.
