Jorunn and Margreet -
I have not seen "dyslexia" in a Constellation, but like Margreet, I am
dyslexic. Also left-handed and color blind. I second Margreet's view about
how this way of perceiving and integrating sensory information can used to
advantage by a facilitator.

Hello Jorunn
I frequently give my training: the art of helping, (base don Bert Hellingers
work Ordnungen des Helfens), for a group of Davis counselors. The Davis
method is a lovely way of dealing with dyslexia and Davis describes some
mechanisms that I also recognise from my working with constellations. (The
book is called something like: the gift of dyslexia by Ronald Davis)
Overall for these counselors the systemic approach and the clear way of
observation that we use for doing systemic work helps them a lot be be more
centrered.
I noticed that many of these counselors have a tendency to be dreamers
themself. I call it: waking up from the fairytales. So I suspect the child
having dyslexia is having the same problem. Daydreaming, and therefor not
being present here and now. For me dyslexia is just a different way of
observing, looking from another angle to the same thing and therefor seeing
things slightly different than others. This is sometimes confusing and costs
more energy. But the result is that you develop your own way of observing
and of gathering all the information you need to understand the World around
you. It takes more energy and it also gives a lot of extra information that
others just don't notice. You develop skills that are useful in many aspects
of life. I have my own dyslexia, mainly in Music. I find it extremely useful
to be dyslectic in doing constellations, for I was already used to this
multidimensional observation. Seeing the whole picture from all directions
at one glance certainly helps to understand a constellation. It is sometimes
difficult to communicate with others who have another perspective and
therefor see things differently.
In dealing with clients with dyslexia you could look for the reason why a
child goes to another place of observation. Like why was it not safe to stay
in here-and-now? Was there a trauma in its own life or was there a general
feeling of being unsafe because mother or father were not available for any
reason? With the fine instrument of tuning into the soul level with an open
heart you will soon find your own observations and maybe find some clues on
how to act or what to do. Like in any constellation, let the field of the
soul guide you towards a good solution for all.
I hope this was useful for you. All the best
