Dyslexia Powerpoint
Transcript: Rights History I was, on the whole, considerably discouraged by my schooldays. I was not pleasant to feel oneself so completely outclassed and left behind at the beginning of the race." - Winston Churchill Famous Dyslexics It is the most common learning disability ( estimated that 4-7% pf people have some type). Dyslexics use both sides of their brain in order to do things that most non-dyslexics only use one side of their brain to perform (may have to use about six times the effort of non-dyslexics). The majority of dyslexics are left-handed. Treatment Can be inherited. Hearing disabilites when young ('glue ear') causes delay in phonemic awareness resulting in difficulty processing verbal language cues. Cranial trauma. Dietary deficiencies during pregnancy. Faulty migration of brain cells in left and frontal parts of brain (help control reading and writing). May have smaller magnocellular area of brain (ability to see moving images). Defining Dyslexia Letter reversals ("d" for "p") and the inability to write symbols in the correct sequence. Difficulty with sounds or groups of letters. May talk later than most children. Word reversals ("tip" for "pit"). Transpositions ("felt" and "left"). Inversions ("m" and "w" and "u" and "n"). Substitutions ("house" and "home"). 1968: "a disorder in children who, despite conventional classroom experience, fail to attain the language skills of reading, writing, and spelling commensurate with their intellectual abilities." (World Federation of Neurologists) Trouble paying attention (hyper). May feel dumb and worthless. Good long term memory. May complain of dizziness, headaches or stomach aches while reading. Dyslexics are by no means less intelligent than non-dyslexics, they merely learn slower in some subjects, or learn in different ways.

DYSLEXIA (a learning disability) Causes 1925: Samuel Orton (American physchiatrist and neurologist) studies ambidextrous children and saw that they often times reversed letters. He called this condition strephosymbolia. 1936: The foundation of the Ordblind Institute was develope for word blind children. 1962: The Invalid Children's Aid Association on Word-Blindness or Specific Development Dyslexia conference was held (dyslexia was used to describe the loss of reading ability, due to brain lesions). Not much of an understanding of dyslexia until 1980 (National Institute of Health began research) There is no cure (once one is diagnosed, they will always have it), but one can learn to live with it and work through it. Very important to find it at an early age. People of all ages need the help of specially trained educators (teachers, tutors, therapists). Computer assisted learning (writing on the computer). Recorded books and tests. More time to finish tasks. More resources (help in taking notes). Famous dyslexic quotes. Retrieved from http://www.dyslexiclikeme.org/ History of Dyslexia.

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Strokes (NINDS) and the National Institute of Health (NIH) are focusing on biological and genetic research, and on the neurophysiological processes and cognitive functions having to do with reading ability.

"Dyslexia is termed as a learning disability that hinders an individual's ability to spell, read, write and sometimes even speak." (National Institute of
