Dyslexia Imagine your childhood. Now imagine sitting in school and dreading that one moment when your elementary school teacher is going to call on you to read aloud to the class. Imagine that you dread this moment so dearly because you constantly trip over simple words and are made to feel stupid because of it. Or worse, imagine knowing that you do try your hardest but still have report cards that say that you are not living up to your full potential and need to start making an effort in school. These are just some of the thoughts and emotions that a child with dyslexia faces everyday. Dyslexia is a language based learning disorder that is grounded in the neurobiology of the brain. The disorder interferes with the processing and comprehension of both spoken and written language. Often there are other associated symptoms such as poor spelling, writing, handwriting and occasionally arithmetic (1). People do not read or write backwards as is depicted by the media. Nor is it a disorder of laziness or lack of intelligence. Current National Institutes of Health (NIH) studies estimate the prevalence of this disorder at 20% of school age children. This means that one in five children have the fears and emotions expressed above. It is by far the most common form of learning disability. In addition, dyslexia affects all socio-economic classes and all races equally (2) (2). It affects as many boys as girls (3). However, boys are usually spotted more quickly because they tend to exhibit externalizing behaviors such as acting out when doing poorly in school. Consequently the teacher is more likely to look for a problem in a child who is acting out in class rather than one who is quiet. Thus, boys who tend to act out more will be ... ... middle of paper ... ...mpartimiento en línea http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=es&sl=en&u=http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/bb/neuro/neuro01/web1/Gilbert.html&prev=/search%3Fq%3D%2522While%2Ba%2Bperson%2Bwith%2Bdyslexia%2Bhas%2Ba%2Bsignificant%2Bdisability%2Bin%2Bschool%2Bearly%2Bdiagnosis%2Bcan%2Blead%2Bto%2Bpositive%2Boutcomes.%2522%26hl%3Des%26lr%3D%26sa%3DG 8) deletreando , en el Web site internacional de la asociación de Dyslexia. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=es&sl=en&u=http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/bb/neuro/neuro01/web1/Gilbert.html&prev=/search%3Fq%3D%2522While%2Ba%2Bperson%2Bwith%2Bdyslexia%2Bhas%2Ba%2Bsignificant%2Bdisability%2Bin%2Bschool%2Bearly%2Bdiagnosis%2Bcan%2Blead%2Bto%2Bpositive%2Boutcomes.%2522%26hl%3Des%26lr%3D%26sa%3DG 9) Selikowitz M.

- Dyslexia Essayexplanatory essayReading comprehension is a skill that has to be learned by most of the population. This includes adults that have been reading for many years. There is a difference between reading and reading comprehension. Read is defined as, “to look at and understand the meaning of letters, words, or symbols” (Read, 2014). Comprehension is defined as, “the act or action of grasping with intellect” (Comprehension, 2014). Even as an adult, people may have difficulties with reading comprehension. There can be visual learning disorders such as dyslexia. There are many learning techniques and strategies that can negate or even overcome these visual learning disorders. This paper will discuss a few techniques and strategies that when used can improve reading comprehension such as vocabulary building, effective reading, and reading strategies. With these techniques the road block of dyslexia may no longer be an issue.

950 wordsRead More - Dyslexia Essayexplanatory essayDyslexia is one of the most common neurobehavioral disorders that haunt adolescents throughout their childhood. Commonly known as a reading disability (RD), dyslexia is a hereditary complex trait that occurs in five to seventeen percent of people. Neuroimaging studies show that dyslexic individuals display abnormal brain function compared to fluent readers when challenged with reading assignments (7). The exact genes that code for dyslexia are not certain, however substantial studies have potentially linked dyslexia to the KIAA0319 gene, the DCDC2 gene, and the DYX1 gene. The severity of each case is largely determined by environmental factors such exposure to reading and professional intervention. Significantly, the interplay between these external influences and innate genetic characteristics ultimately determine the performance of the dyslexic individual.

Instead, the aim is to create awareness in the environment, and oneself through contact. When a client becomes aware they form the ability to understand what they were denying.

It is the most common learning disability in children. Developmental dyslexia is often inherited from the child’s parents. People with dyslexia often show signs that include difficulty spelling, difficulty memorizing, and poor self-expression.

A child with dyslexia may have trouble keeping up in classes and with their peers as they have difficulties reading. Dyslexic children and adults, often leads to low self-esteem, behavior problems, anxiety, and withdrawal from people due to their inability. Children with dyslexia are often at risk of having attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). ADHD can cause difficulty sustaining attention as well as hyperactivity and impulsive behavior, which can make dyslexia harder to treat (U.S. National Institutes of Health).

For those suffering from dyslexia this only adds to the frustration and fears associated with seeking employment. Many adults with dyslexia or other forms of learning disabilities never disclose their disability in interviews or once employed for fear of being discriminated against. Several investigators have noted, however, that many persons with learning disabilities adjust well to the demands and complexities of adulthood. (Greenbaum et al. 1996). The basic cause of dyslexia is still not known, however, much research is being done to determine the problems underlying dyslexia. In many cases, dyslexia is highly inherited. Studies have shown a number of genes that may set the stage for its development. Characteristics of dyslexia are now more apparent to educators than ever before. Early educational interventions are helping individuals to manage their dyslexia. There have been some studies that attend to accommodating persons with learning disabilities in post-secondary and occupational settings. Only a few articles will be reviewed having been found worthy of this subject. However, before reviewing the articles, in order to gain a greater understanding of the types of learning disabilities people face lets define one of the most significant learning problems: dyslexia. A Type of Learning Disability: What is Dyslexia? The word dyslexia is derived form the Greek "dys" (meaning poor or inadequate) and "lexis" (works or language).
