How Dyslexia Affects The Brain

According to the article “A New Perspective Dyslexia” the author informs us about information that teachers and parents, who be stuck in the myths of dyslexia. This article will give you information that will might save our world’s next great inventor, engineer, or scientist. It starts by explaining on how this article will surprise you by learning that you, or someone you might know is dealing with this disorder and also to inform us news that we can share with others about it. It informs us that dyslexia is not news because we know what is, what to look for it in a person, and how we can help people with this disorder. it make us guess what this disorder this is by telling us some hints like how it is not rare, and how it affects about five

Several studies have shown that when dyslexia is undiagnosed, it can cause a lot of frustrations and anxieties in the individuals involved (Riddick & Edwards as cited in Glazzard, 2012). Dyslexia is a ‘hidden’ disability, as there are no obvious external signs for people to recognize (Riddick as cited in Glazzard, 2012). It is not like some other disabilities, as for example down syndrome, or cerebral palsy which people can recognize from the moment they see them. People can get confused and assume different reasons for the children’s poor performance in school. That is why, when dyslexia is undiagnosed, the characteristics like ‘stupid’, ‘thick’, and ‘lazy’ are commonly used to describe students with dyslexia. People who are not aware about dyslexia cannot find any other explanations for them who are not doing well at school. Lack of assessment may result in low self-esteem compared to non-dyslexic students (Humphrey as cited in Glazzard, 2012 ). On the other hand, lack of appropriate help and support can have long-term effects for people with dyslexia when reaching adulthood (Morgan & Klein,

The book “Can’t Read, Can’t Write, Can’t Talk Too Good Either: How To Recognize And Overcome Dyslexia In Your Child,” discusses the difficulties a child faces when they have dyslexia. The book is broken down into three parts. In particular the book focuses on the difficulties of a child named Mike and his struggle with dyslexia from childhood to adulthood. Mike agreed to have some of the most difficult parts of his life told in hopes that it will help others in their struggle with dyslexia. The book then goes on to give insight on how parents deal with a child that has dyslexia and also gives information on how recognize the signs of dyslexia in children. The book is

Dyslexia can affect different individuals in different ways. For example, an individual might have trouble reading and another might have trouble with spelling and reading. The effects of dyslexia depend on the conditions severity.

Learning about dyslexia could help improve students performance in school. Encourage them when the student improves and that tells them to keep up the good work. When that is done, it makes that students feel proud and not put down since they may be slow learners in the classroom. Support the sense of confidence and self worth that individuals with dyslexia develop (Publisher house inc. 2016). Giving the student a sense of confidence in themselves will encourage them to do well. It sets them up for success. Getting a compliment or a pat on the back makes anybody feel good and praising all that they have overcome and or accomplished in school. A Helton self conception can be fostered through the right combination of internal and external supports (Publisher house inc. 216).

Dyslexia is a lifelong struggle with constant challenges with reading and speaking. About five to ten percent of the United States population deals with the learning disorder dyslexia (Van den Honert, n.d.). It is a neurological condition that is mainly caused by genetics but there are some rare cases in which it is acquired. Dyslexia interrupts the normal processes of reading and speaking (Van den Honert, n.d.). All of which are used in daily life and this makes life and school so much harder for dyslexics. They must learn to live with the condition for their entire life and there is not really a treatment for it. With the constant struggle and reminder of their

Dyslexia is quickly becoming one of the most common forms of learning disabilities in America. My personal purpose of conducting research on this topic is because my nine year old niece was diagnosed with dyslexia last year. The causes of all learning disabilities, not just dyslexia, are either heredity or environmental influences. Among these causes, each child is different, which is why it is most important to assess and treat the child as an individual not specifically as a child with dyslexia.

According to the Dyslexia & Learning Disability Centre in Las Vegas, Dyslexia is an ability within the sensory mechanism of the nervous system to perceive the world with a multidimensional view. However it comes with poor word reading, word decoding, oral reading fluency and spelling. Though with appropriate teaching methods, dyslexic individuals can learn successfully throughout their lives. Also, when properly trained and informed, a dyslexic can use their

Children cannot get through life without the skill of reading. Reading is the focal point of everything learned in schools and in life. Throughout a child’s school years, they begin school reading to read to later shifting their reading comprehension from reading to read to reading to learn. In the article titled Dyslexia: A New Synergy between Education and Cognitive Neuroscience by John D.E. Gabrieli, he covers the importance and seriousness of Dyslexia in children in schools. Gabrieli provides an overview of the research found on the cognitive brain basis of dyslexia and what effect it has on children’s developmental

There are two learning disabilities that are one in the same, they are dyslexia, and dyscalculia. Although these refer to two different disabilities, the effects they have on individuals and the effects they have on learning themselves are very close in comparison. Dyslexia is also known as a reading disorder, the symptoms of dyslexia are measured by reading achievement, i.e., reading accuracy, speed or comprehension as measured by standardized tests, that falls substantially below that expected, given the individual’s chronological age, measured intelligence, and age appropriate education, dyslexia symptoms can show up for a variety of reasons. Dyslexia effects about 10-15% of the population, and as of today there is no known cure for this

Of the three previously mentioned diseases, Dyslexia impairs a person’s ability to read, write, and spell (NINDS 2003). Although they are of normal intelligence, their reading level is below average. They will usually have “trouble with phonological processing (the manipulation of sounds) and/or rapid visual-verbal responding.” (NINDS 2003). Children with dyslexia complain they cannot read their textbooks, do not have enough time to finish tests, cannot take notes, and are unable to read their own handwriting (GVSU 2000). Dyslexia does not affect every person the same way, and signs of the disorder may not be prevalent until later, when grammar and more in-depth writing skills are introduced. Dyslexia can also create a difficulty in processing vocabulary and thoughts correctly when speaking, and understanding what one says when they are spoken to. Dysgraphia is another neurological disorder that focuses on writing. When a child with this disorder is first introduced to writing, they will make unnecessary spaces between their letters, and some letters will be

Those who have healthy and strong brains are able to function properly everyday and are able to solve day to day problems and are able to make through school just fine with little to no struggle. Even though no brain is similar to one another brains in those with dyslexia look exceptionally different than those without dyslexia. There is a structural difference in the cerebral cortex and the thalamus. It was revealed there were changes in the arrangement of nerve cells and a smaller auditory region in the cerebral cortex. There is a difference is ectopias and in the symmetry of the brain. There also has been discovered that there is smaller neurons in certain cell clusters of the thalamus. Its thought that a dyslexcs brain may not be the most suited for processing certain sequential and linguistic information but may be ideal for other kinds of processing. The development of dyslexia is associated with the difficulty in processing written form and sound structure of language. There is no single location in the brain that is a reading center. Sub regions of the brain that or used for other functions instead are redirected for reading purposes. Reading is supported by networks of regions in the left hempshire in the brain. This would include the occipito-temporal which holds the “visual word form area” and the temporo-parieta and inferior frontal cortices which

The latest research from The British Dyslexia Association indicates that the one in every five children has dyslexia and the million of others struggle to read at their own grade levels (Medical News Today, 2015). So, teachers and parents should have a formal assessment and diagnosis to estimate each child or adult. Turkington (2003) came up with some standards of children’s reading skills in the different grade levels. It means that when children study in different grade, they should master different reading skills, but if they cannot reach these standards, teachers can predict students may have difficulty learning to read. However, Dr. Shaywitz (2003) provided three distinct portraits of dyslexia to diagnose whether a child or adult has dyslexia. For example, the first clue to dyslexia in early childhood may be a delay in speaking. Children in the school-age should have tests of reading accurate, comprehension, fluency and spelling which can determine whether each child has dyslexia. For young adults, even if they have never received a diagnosis, they may read slowly or inaccurately (Shaywitz, 2003). That is, the diagnosis of dyslexia at any age is identifying a person’s weakness and strength among reading, spelling, and writing. The advantage of diagnosing dyslexia is that teachers and parents can spot dyslexia in children before they want to read and in adults after they have reading skills but are continuing to show the earlier problems, like reading slowly or inaccurately. Therefore, diagnosing dyslexia sooner can make dyslexic people get help quickly and avoid influencing the improvement of other

How does having dyslexia affect a child and the family? Having dyslexia was very frustrating to both my family and me. As a small child, I loved to listen to stories read to me, but when it came to learning to read, I could not decipher or understand the same words printed on paper. Dyslexia does not mean that a child or an adult will not have a love for books. I did not learn to love books until I found that I could enjoy reading through my ears and not my eyes by using audio books.
