News from the web:

After a brief explanation of learning difficulties, among which Dyslexia, the blog goes on to find that Psychotherapy may be useful in helping people with Learning difficulties.

The argument is that both the person who faces learning difficulties and their family members will need to learn coping skills for the difficulty as well as emotionally.

Learning difficulties are most often present over an entire lifetime, so learning effective and appropriate methods of coping are essential to successful management.

Psychotherapy and the teaching of behavioural strategies or techniques, often work best for individuals who struggle with learning difficulties.

Dyslexia not detected or accepted in public schools

Posted on by

News from the web:

By law, public schools must identify and serve students who have learning disabilities, which includes dyslexia, dysgraphia and other reading-related disorders.

But Marks says public districts don’t exactly make it easy for parents to get their child the help they need.

Speaking from personal experience it is a hell of process to work through the bureaucracy of the public school system to get your kid the facilities it needs for their Dyslexia.

Not everyone will be able to afford the money to get a private screening by a psychologist, because that was what it took for us to force the school district into action. Very disappointing and very frustrating. Read the story about the Chicago school system through the link below.

Free Q&A Service, Encouraging Parents and Teachers to ask Dyslexia Related Questions

Posted on by

News from the web:

Seeing the gap between what is known about dyslexia and remediation in Science, and what is understood about the subject by parents and teachers, Dynaread Special Education Corporation has launched a free online Q&A service. Dynaread hopes to help bridge the gap of science versus public dyslexia understanding by offering people the ability to get answers to their dyslexia related questions.

 

Dynaread has a team of reading specialists who can assist parents and teachers by providing them with answers to their reading remediation related questions. A simple to use online web form at https://dynaread.com/service/askQuestionForm is all it takes to get into contact with Dynaread?s team of reading specialists and ask a question about dyslexia.

 

With 5-10% of children struggling with reading, dyslexia is an issue facing many parents and teachers. Though a neurological issue, completely unrelated to intelligence, many people misunderstand what dyslexia is, and not being able to properly read has caused pain and embarrassment for parents and children alike.

 

Dekkers, CEO of Dynaread, states: ?At the annual IDA conference in Chicago a few months ago, I had the opportunity to personally meet one of America?s leading pioneers in dyslexia research and advocacy, Dr. Sylvia O. Richardson, MD, former President of the International Dyslexia Association . As someone who is passionate about helping struggling readers myself, I asked her what she could challenge me with. She stated: ?In spite of all the efforts of the International Dyslexia Association, all the advancements in reading sciences, and all our current understanding in reading disorders, this information has not yet reached the general public, nor our educational institutions.?

Are Dyslexic Students Being Overlooked?

Posted on by

News from the web:

Dyslexia is diagnosed when it is discovered that a child has problems processing language. Five percent of schoolchildren are said to have problems learning to read with most of those students being dyslexic. Dyslexia is diagnosed more often in boys than girls. Unfortunately, dyslexia often goes undiagnosed for too long. Many people make it into adulthood before ever realizing there was a problem that could have been treated.

The dyslexia_teacher.com website states, “Learning disabilities often lead to long-lasting psychological harm unless they are caught early… But many kids slip through undiagnosed, it says, leaving them unable to function later in life.” These misdiagnoses can result in depression, anxiety, and suicide.

Self-Tests for Parents to Do at Home to Test for Dyslexia

When it is comes to testing for dyslexia, there is not one true test that can be done.  Because of this problem, many children have dyslexia, yet go untreated for it, while other children may have anotherlearning disability and are wrongly diagnosed with dyslexia.  As a parent, you are your child’s advocate.  Therefore, there are many signs and symptoms you can look when it comes to testing for dyslexia.

Children with dyslexia are not dumb or unintelligent.  However, due to their learning disability they may struggle with reading, schoolwork, and even paying attention.  They may also have low self-esteem or feel dumb, especially if they are comparing themselves with other children.  Your child may even have a high IQ, but standardized tests show differently.  If homework time is a constant struggle each night, this could be your first clue that your child has dyslexia. 

How Do They Do Reading Aloud?

Ask them to read out loud to you from simple storybooks (do not pick from stories that they could have easily memorized from hearing too many times).  If your child struggles with this task or even mixes up the words, it is another sign of dyslexia.  Some children will become emotional while reading.  Other children will complain of headaches or stomachaches when asked to read a book.

Treating Dyslexia Before Kids Learn to Read

Posted on by

News from the web:

Treatment for dyslexia can begin even before children start learning to read, a new study suggests.

Researchers from Italy found that the learning disability may be linked to problems with children’s visual attention. They said their findings could lead to earlier diagnosis and new treatments for those with the condition.

“Visual attention deficits are surprisingly way more predictive of future reading disorders than are language abilities at the pre-reading stage,” Andrea Facoetti, of the University of Padua, said in a journal news release.
