    Dyslexia is a common condition and is seen a lot in schools. A dyslexic has trouble processing spoken language and written language. A Dyslexic can look at a word but cannot translate it into the sounds of the individual letters. This can cause problems with reading, writing math, and sounding out things (Boston children's hospital, 2005). Depending on the person, the problems with dyslexia can vary. People with dyslexia have a normal or above average IQ, and they are psychologically fine, it is just the processing and acquisition of language that gets in their way. It is a very frustrating situation for they know what they want to say, and they know what they want to write they just cannot put it together (Van den Honert, n.d.). The sounds of the letters do not come to them and it makes them look like poor spellers and speakers. It is usually first discovered in childhood and can have detrimental effects on their…

    Dyscalculia Essay

    Dyscalculia is a cognitive disability whereby children have difficulty attaining mathematical fluency over the idea of numbers, number systems and counting (Vaidya, 2004). It can also extend to spacial understanding and concepts of time, such as understanding position and direction of an object and keeping track of time (Vaidya, 2004). Because of the wide range of symptoms and frequent appearance of simultaneous symptoms Michaelson (Michaelson, 2007) and Vaidya (Vaidya, 2004) both agree that identifying specific causal factors for dyscalculia are difficult to narrow down. Therefore, several suggestions for the cause of dyscalculia have been proposed, such as biological (i.e. genetic), emotional problems from negative environmental stimuli,…

    Dyscalculia

    Dyscalculia is defined as” a mathematical learning disability in which a person with normal or above average intelligence has unusual difficulty solving arithmetic problems and grasping math concepts.”(Paquette and Tuttle , 72). Dyscalculia can manifest itself in many ways. Some people have problems with calculations, others have problems with processing mathematical language, some have visual-spatial problems, some have memory problems that prevent them from remembering basic math facts, and some people have a hard time estimating. Although many people think girls have a harder time with math than boys research has shown that dyscalculia affects both girls and boys in equal amounts. (Paquette and Tuttle, 73). It is estimated that between 6 and 7 percent of the population has math disabilities. This number however only represents the number of people who are “purely” dyscalculic, meaning they only have math disabilities but have fine performances in other areas of learning. It is also known though that 50 to 60 percent of dyslexic people also suffer from dyscalculia. (British Dyslexia Association). Many people’s math disabilities may stem from their problems with language; because they have problems with…

    Scientists have been interested in dyslexia for a long time. For instance a scientist by the name of A. Kussmaul started researching this disorder in 1881. He came up with a theory of a certain inability as "word blindness" (history of dyslexia). The word dyslexia was first mentioned in 1887 by a professor by the name of R. Berlin. Scientists to this day are still unsure on what causes dyslexia, although they have a good idea of some of the factors that could have something to do with dyslexia. The only sure thing scientists do know about dyslexia is that there is no cure. Some causes of dyslexia are thought to be genetic factors, emotional problems, and defects of the nervous system. Even though these are thought to play a role in dyslexia, many experts are not convinced that these factors are causes of dyslexia (Make the connection). Dyslexia can occur at any level of intellectual ability. It is not the result of poor motivation, emotional disturbance, sensory impairment or lack of opportunities, but it may occur alongside any of these (Information on Dyslexia).…
