Answer 2

Dyslexia is a brain-based type of learning disability that specifically impairs a person's ability to read. These individuals typically read at levels significantly lower than expected despite having normal intelligence. Although the disorder varies from person to person, common characteristics among people with dyslexia are difficulty with phonological processing (the manipulation of sounds) and/or rapid visual-verbal responding.

The main focus of treatment should be on the specific learning problems of affected individuals. The usual course is to modify teaching methods and the educational environment to meet the specific needs of the individual with dyslexia.

Answer 3

It is a specific learning difficulty which could involve all types of difficulty. Imagine that you are trying to read a map upside down, eventually you will manage it but for a true dyslexic this is what any written access to material is like. Dyslexic people however are excellent at seeing the big picture and planning activities because they are used to having to think in a unplanned way. Hence the success of famous dyslexic people such as Einstein, Tom Cruise, Richard Branson. if you are number dyslexic it is known as dyscalula.. I am not sure that this question should be in a medical category, check out education answers too for further help

Answer 4

there is no cause for dyslexia you are born with it. there are so many types, forms and severity with dyslexia its hard to make each individual person with dyslexia a true example since as with every person its diferent.
i suffer from dyslexia in my memory processes and also have dyspraxia which is more embarrasing than my dyslexia if im truely honest. i have a very high IQ thankfully tested by a fully qualified educational psychologist. having dyslexia isnt just about learning reading and writing, as you can probably tell i dont look like i have much of a problem but days vary. dyslexia is a whole life problem working to change that is harder than understanding what you see infront of you. getting times right for appointments remembering what someone just told you correctly. its very tiring being dyslexic when you work hard to keep life on track.

i went to a superb dyslexia centre they helped me understand my grammer and spelling aided me in recognising points to remember in a conversation reminding myself im not "stupid"
im not ashamed to say i am dyslexic anymore and no one else should either its just like being colour blind or having problems picking clothes to wear when you have no dress sence, we do what everyone else does we get on with it. and yes most of the worlds famous geniouses were ..... DYSLEXIC . i dont think dyslexia should be "overcome" i think it should be accepted and understood more. give children more chance in school and adults not to be afraid of who they are.
theres courses at local colleges on dyslexia check them out librarys have info full on it.
and you know what matters most your next door neighbour or even your best friend could be dyslexic and you wouldnt even notice.

Answer 5

dslexia is a common word used to describe several different types of 'word blindness' - some of these can be overcome easily, and some cannot. It is a function of the way that the brain operates and it doesn't have a specific cause.

Answer 6

Its a disorder in reading sentences, syllables or even simple letters. You have difficulty in reading, writing, focusing, so if you are a kid, you usually hate school cause you think you are stupid to not understand things other children find easy to. Nothing causes it (or at least they don't know). There are doctors (specialists) that work with those children in my country. And people with that problem get only oral exams at school, universities etc

Answer 7

Developmental dyslexia is a condition or learning disability which causes difficulty with reading and writing.

Its standard definition is a difficulty in reading and writing in spite of normal development of intelligence, cognitive and sensory abilities.

The word "dyslexia" comes from the Greek words δυς- dys- ("impaired") and λέξις lexis ("words" or "lexicon"). People are often identified as dyslexic when their reading or writing problems cannot be explained by a lack of intellectual ability, inadequate instruction, or sensory problems such as poor eyesight.

The term dyslexia is also sometimes used to refer to the loss of reading ability following brain damage. This form of dyslexia is more often referred to as either acquired dyslexia or "Alexia". Dyslexia primarily impacts reading and writing abilities; however, other difficulties have been reported including deficits in processing spoken language as well as non-language difficultie.

Dyslexia is not limited to reversing the order of letters in reading or writing. Nor is it a visual perception deficit that involves reading letters or words backwards or upside down, as is often implied in popular culture.

Dyslexia is a learning disorder. Its underlying cause is believed to be a brain-based condition that influences the ability to read written language. It is identified in individuals who fail to learn to read in the absence of a verbal or nonverbal intellectual impairment, sensory deficit (e.g., a visual deficit or hearing loss), pervasive developmental deficit or a frank neurological impairment. The following conditions are sometimes confused with dyslexia because they can also lead to difficulty reading:

Auditory Processing Disorder is a condition that affects the ability to encode auditory information. It can lead to problems with auditory working memory and auditory sequencing.
Dyspraxia is a neurological condition characterized by a marked difficulty in carrying out routine tasks involving balance, fine-motor control, and kinesthetic coordination. This is most common in dyslexics who also have an attention deficit disorder.
Verbal Dyspraxia is a neurological condition characterized by marked difficulty in the use of speech sounds, which is the result of an immaturity in the speech production area of the brain.
Dysgraphia is a neurological condition characterized by distorted and incorrect handwriting.
Dyscalculia is a neurological condition characterized by a problem with learning fundamentals and one or more of the basic numerical skills. Often people with this condition can understand very complex mathematical concepts and principles but have difficulty processing formulas and even basic addition and subtraction.
Scotopic Sensitivity also known as Irlen Syndrome is a sensitivity to certain wavelengths of light which interfere with proper visual processing.
