  The benefits of Mind Mapping are well known. It is used by millions of people across the world for a wide variety of activities from planning, organizing and learning to problem solving in settings ranging from educational, professional or just at home. It has been referred to as the ‘ultimate organizational thinking tool’. Mind Maps have a natural structure that represents the brain’s natural image-filled thinking processes and helps reinforce the ‘maps of thought’ in the brain. But what if these ‘maps of thoughts’ are even more disorganized than normal?
  
  Widely accepted characteristics of dyslexia include poor memory, trouble with focusing, planning, and organization. In general, tasks also take longer to carry out. However, with Mind Mapping these problems are eased. The colorful, symbolic and image related stature means that Mind Maps are less dense than text. The substantial lack of words creates an easier and more effective environment for the visual learner. Elaine Colliar, a Scottish accelerated-learning trainer states, “Dyslexia is often likened to a circuit board where one component is missing, therefore they have to devise a new strategy to wire that circuit board completely, and Mind Mapping can assist dyslexics as it consist solely of images".
