Symptoms of Dyslexia

July 18, 2008

What is dyslexia and what does it do?
Dyslexia is a disorder that affects and limits a person’s reading and writing abilities. Usually, those with dyslexia have a difficulties reading and writing, which can and usually last a lifetime. What are the signs of dyslexia?
It is hard for most parents and teachers to tell whether their children have dyslexia and the symptoms of dyslexia can range from child to child, but can include but can not be limited to the following signs, such as when a child has a hard time learning numbers and letters and an inability to concentrate on schoolwork.

Also, for dyslexic sufferers, they tend to reverse numbers and letters when reading or writing them and have difficulty copying the words and phrases of sentences on a blackboard or from a book and have trouble remembering certain details from either audio and/or visual books, tapes and videos.

A lack of coordination is also present in dyslexic sufferers and they are not fully able to participate or compete in sporting activities. Dyslexic sufferers also have difficulty distinguishing left from right, which is why most dyslexic sufferers used both hands to do certain tasks.

Auditory problems are also present in dyslexic sufferers, which causes them to have trouble understanding or remembering what they hear and in early school grades, where music and visual aids are the primary learning styles, children with dyslexia are not able to follow the rhythm of music when music is being played.

There are also social issues for people with dyslexia, since they are not able to learn and think as quickly as normal people, they are often made fun of and shunned by other people, causing dyslexic children and adults to become withdrawn and depressed, making them even more unable and unwilling to learn certain things.

Dyslexic children tend to act out to gain attention and to hide their disability and mainly lose interest in learning and trying new things and generally become lazy and unmotivated. For those who have dyslexia, the illness should be treated by a professional doctor, who will through counseling and/or medications, try to help the dyslexic sufferer gain some focus and desire to learn and try certain things. Also children with this condition are usually placed in special education classes to help them learn more easily and at a slower place.
