The inability to read in spite of normal intellectual potential represents one of the most puzzling educational challenges for literate societies, regardless of the culture or language. This book examines medical, psychological, educational, and sociological data from comprehensive case studies of preteen dyslexic children, in order to profile the disability as it occurs in seventeen different nations. Interviews with the children and their parents reveal how children with dyslexia are identified and treated around the world, and provide a look at various perceptions of dyslexia and its challenges. Researchers and practitioners in education, psychology, and health-related professions will find this case book to be an excellent reference. Parents of children with dyslexia will find the advocacy recommendations helpful.

Download or read book Help Them Learn with their Strengths written by M. Susan Grogan Ph.D. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2021-08-25 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students with Dyslexia already have unique skills and talents outside of reading, writing, and spelling. These skills and talents are similar to successful and famous CEOs, engineers, surgeons, artists, musicians, dancers, athletes, architects, and others with Dyslexia. Confirming this are the dyslexia assessments and interviews of eighty-eight school-age and adult students conducted by the author. She provides a description and explanation of the dyslexic brain and how people with dyslexia process print. Included is a detailed commentary about how educators have scrambled to learn about Dyslexia and how to help students. Dyslexia is detectable even before preschool, and the signs to watch for are listed. Interviews and assessments of the students with Dyslexia, ages six to college-age, illustrate their exceptional skills and talents as well as their needs. Although early detection and intense intervention by trained dyslexia educators are essential, teachers and parents can enhance school and home instruction. We can value and infuse these strengths and skills while they are learning and allow them to show what they know in ways other than paper and pencil. Permeating the Arts and STEAM with instruction engages brain-based learning. The end goal is to improve student success and confident self-image, not just for children and teens with Dyslexia but also for all students.

Download or read book The Reality of Dyslexia written by John Osmond and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dubbed the "middle class disease" by some and a "specific learning disability by others, dyslexia affects about one in 25 persons. Dyslexia can involve a frustrating range of problems which conspire against easily working with print, letter and word recognition and writing. Yet professionals refuse to acknowledge the existence of dyslexia as a diagnosable condition, distinct from other causes of low reading ability. In The Reality of Dyslexia, John Osmond addresses these issues in this informative and sensitive study of living with dyslexia, illuminating the problems using first person accounts and personal histories of child and adult dyslexics, even entire dyslexic families. The reader can easily see the frustrations and difficulties of living experienced by these people, and enjoy their overwhelming feelings of relief when their condition is diagnosed: their peculiar difficulties have a name; they are not alone, stupid, or insane; and in most cases, special accommodations and education can improve their functional abilities.

Download or read book Dyslexia Dissolved written by Coral P. S. Hoh and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-19 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For all who live and work with struggling readers and their puzzling problems, this book presents the solution. For the first time: (i) Dyslexia is defined accurately. (ii) The relationships among dyslexia and coexisting ADHD, dyscalculia, auditory processing and speech disorders are explained clearly. (iii) Dyslexia and learning disabilities are corrected successfully to enable failing students to advance to Honor roll, while coexisting conditions dissipated. (iv) The artificial intelligence (AI) system Dysolve® is used to correct dyslexia, a task beyond human specialists. (v) Schools can replace the costly, burdensome services of traditional interventions with this inexpensive computer program that dispenses with intensive teacher preparation.These breakthroughs are illustrated by cases covering over 1,200 hours of training and insights from families, educators and Dr. Coral P.S. Hoh, co-inventor of the US patent for diagnostic technology for language disorders and the architect of Dysolve®. Successes with the most severe of cases prove that dyslexia is not a permanent disability.With over 30 years of diagnostics experience in language processing and operating systems, Dr. Coral and Evan Haruta explain why the multidimensional problem of dyslexia had not been resolved until now. Each person affected has a unique complex of underlying deficits. To remove the condition, Dysolve® was invented to generate assessment and training programs specific to each learner. Schools can see how AI equips them to reverse the grim statistics of special education by changing learning outcomes rapidly and permanently for those affected, now that the future has arrived.
