Dyslexia

Image? [|Dyslexia]
 * Explanation: A reading disability resulting from the incapability to process the symbols of letters and numbers. The brain does not recognize or process such symbols.**
 * Effects on the child at school: the child can speak the words normally, but when asked to verbally say the word from a written text the brain doesn't put the pieces together. The child may have difficulty defining the meaning of a passage.**
 * Prevalence of the disorder:** 2 to 5% of population; 5 of 100 dyslexics receive treatment
 * Treatments: Tutoring, sensory type programs or special classes throughout the day, but every child is different, and IEP can be formed.**
 * How can teachers help: Parents and teachers need to build a strong relationship when dealing with this disability(along with others), parents need to talk to teachers about helping child stay on track, about extra timing on tests(especailly if reading is involved).**
