We have to understand that dyslexia is not a disease it is a disorder. This disorder is due to the factors that affect brain development, causing or making it troublesome for the person to learn, read and write.
What is dyslexia?
Dyslexia is disarray, the condition in which the affected person is disabled to read, write, spell and speak. Dyslexia is a reading disability (or difficulty in learning). If you find yourself diagnosed, you may have trouble connecting the words you see to the actual sound of the words you hear.
The affected person also has average intelligence and can perform well with the coaching of guiding schools and the love and care of their parents and surroundings. The affected person’s brain functioning is slow compared to people without dyslexia, which is why learning processes seem to be heavy on them.
What are the causes of dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a genetic condition in origin; this disorder is linked to the genes that affect the brain’s learning processes. Dyslexia is just a disorder; you can overcome it and eventually succeed in life.
What are the symptoms of dyslexia?
In the case of dyslexia, it is hard to find if your child is affected or not until he begins to read and write. Dyslexia symptoms can be diagnosed when the child starts to learn. That’s where the difficulty arises. Some other early noticed symptoms are as follows:
- Talking lately
- Difficulty in learning new words
- Mispronouncing the words
- Remembering problem (words, letters, colours & sounds)
- Performing below the average (in school grade)
- Difficulty in hearing and understanding (what the teacher conveys)
- Confusing the words
- Lack of interest in reading aloud
Consult a doctor if your child or yourself identified with such symptoms. It is easy to cure dyslexia in childhood with the help of some exercise and activities that eventually boost the brain’s learning processes leading to the cure of dyslexia.
Dyslexia in adults
If dyslexia in your childhood is untreated, then dyslexia is carried forward to adulthood. In adults, it is a different case; you may find difficulty getting employed. You will usually spend more time completing a task than the expected timeline.
However, you can still consult a psychologist to undertake the proper treatment to help you overcome your dyslexia. Don’t feel down about your disorder, be outspoken to your doctor to get rid of your dyslexia.
How is dyslexia diagnosed?
As dyslexia is a neurological disorder, it is difficult to diagnose it. Your psychologist considers serious factors for diagnosing dyslexia to evaluate and examine the problem. The diagnosis includes the following:
- Hearing ability
- Speaking / pronouncing ability
- Visual ability
- Brain activity (kinesthetic)
The psychologist undertakes the performance of your child based on these simple activities and takes in the performance rate to compare and conclude the test results.
Can dyslexia be cured?
Treatment cannot give positive results is dyslexia as it is a neurobiological disorder in the brain; there are no such treatments that will provide a cure immediately. However, if dyslexia are detected early, then the appropriate treatment can be helpful in the progress of success.
In the treatment, your child will be given the training to read and write in a slow phase that would help to match their learning speed. The child will be encouraged to read aloud to practice accuracy, speed, and fluency. Some activities or tasks will be given. For example, the child will be asked to form the vocabulary with the letters of their recognition.
There is a lot of tutoring available that can help treat people with dyslexia. The developing process will be slow, but regular tutoring can improve success processes.
Conclusion
Dyslexia is caused because of the problem in learning, so it has no connection with the intelligence of the person. If your child is affected by dyslexia, stop mistreating them—your care and support help improve the processes of success. If you add on your emotional support to your child’s hard work, it aids them to overcome their disorder and boosts up their success.
