I am going to write an easy about Dyslexia.
Introduction of Dyslexia
First of all, Dyslexia is generally defined as a form of learning disability disorder that patient is impaired to understand written language but not caused by low intelligence or brain damage. Its symptoms are: slow reading and writing; inability of spelling; bad perform in academic tasks, but has at least average intelligence. Thus it is generally difficult to detect this LD(learning disability) in early age.
Cause of Dyslexia
There are three main types of dyslexia:
Developmental dyslexia is caused by the early stage of Fetal development of hormones. Thus developmental dyslexia will decrease as the child get mature, mostly results in boys.
‘A general practioner in Sussex, W.P. Morgan, wrote to The Lancet giving an account of the reading problems experienced by an apparently normal boy who had suffered no brain damage. Thus it is to Morgan (1896) that we owe the first description in the medical literature of what is now referred to as developmental dyslexia or specific reading disability. His account of what he called ‘’congenital word-blindness’’ ran as follows:
Percy F.—a well-grown, aged 14—is the eldest son of intelligent parents... he has always been a bright and intelligent boy, quick at games and no way inferior to others of his age. His greatest difficulty has been – and is now—his inability to learn to read, This inability is so remarkable, and so pronounced, that i have no doubt it is due to some congenital defect... the greatest efforts have been made to teach him to read , but, in spite of this laborious and persistent training, he can only with difficulty spell out words of one syllable.. The schoolmaster who has taught him for some years says that he would be the smartest lad in the school if the instruction were entirely oral.. His father informs me that the greatest difficulty was found in teaching the boy his letters, and they thought he never would learn

Instead, we should focus on what makes them distinctive, capable and unique. The authors presented case studies and stories that highlighted the remarkable talent and ability of individuals with dyslexia.…

    I always thought that dyslexia was untreatable and that those who have it will always have trouble reading. The very first thing that I learned from this reading is that dyslexia is, in fact, treatable, and that changes everything for me. It gives hope for those who have the “malfunction”…

    The aim of this essay is to see if weak phonological representations contribute to reading difficulties within children and see what factors can have an impact before deciding whether this alone can be a reason and cause, relating to developmental dyslexia in children. This paper will also evaluate alternative explanations, for example, looking at what impact the environment may have with regards to developmental dyslexia throughout the home and school. It will look at biological explanations, which could also be an explanation as it relates to the brain. Research will also be looked…

    Dyslexia refers to a specific difficulty in learning to read and write. However this is not the only difficulty that children with dyslexia experience and there are variations of their symptoms. These problems appear to stem from fundamental difficulties in the rapid processing and sequencing of phonological information in short term memory. These children also have difficulties with associations with letters and their sounds. Learning their left from right also is difficult. In the 1970s-80s it was thought Dyslexia was a label given to rich parents underachieving children as an excuse for their poor performance. Contempory definitions of dyslexia combine a discrepancy approach with definition indicators. The discrepancy approach is key in how educational psychologists identify dyslexia.…

    He explains that well controlled studies involving random assignment treatments and controlled groups have found that the interventions used in many public school systems improve accuracy for many but not for all. Even if the intervention does work for a child that doesn’t mean the child will be able to catch up to the accuracy of a reader who does not suffer from this deficit. The benefits are more seen in younger children than older children because as seen in a lot of research the older a child gets the harder it is to get them to achieve this kind of success. The neuroimaging studies then show how these interventions effect the brain showing a before and after picture. After an intervention begins to work on a child there is suddenly action in the left temporal-parietal and frontal parts of the brain, where before the intervention there was none or little action at…
