how do you fix dyslexia?

Answer 1

You can't, and you don't.
Dyslexic people will use nonfiction text to learn a subject like electronics or automechanics, they will never read for enjoyment.
Would you read if the words on the page didn't "talk to you"? Think about it, dyslexic people don't have visual speech ability, they have to sound everything out, and read aloud for meaning.

How To Fix Dyslexia

Answer 3

There are a lot of people who believe you can't fix it, but I say DO NOT say never. The process of reading acquisition is well researched. The condition of dyslexia is misrepresented and very misunderstood. Some believe it is neurological, some developmental, some think its an auditory problem, some a visual perception problem.

Simply put, it means "bad, abnormal, difficult written word recognition" and that CAN be fixed through individualized assessment, instruction, practice and overcoming an avalanche of negative, non-supportive, naysayers.

Answer 4

You can't "fix" it but you can learn to cope and adapt. People with dyslexia sometimes need extra help to learn strategies to help them succeed. They can be just as successful or even more then people without dyslexia.

Answer 8

Dyslexia is a basket term for having a specific learning disability that affects reading and is thought to be language based. Getting this type of diagnosis really doesn't help you with anything. It is much better to have him or her tested for learning disabilities by a psychologist. You school district will do it if he or she is doing poorly at school.

A learning disability is a neurological disorder. The person's brain is wired differently and though he or she may be as smart as anyone else, they have trouble with reading, writing, organizing and remembering. Some of the recognized learning disabilities that affect reading (and other things) are deficits in the following:

Auditory Sequencing - Confusion with number sequences, lists or lists of directions. Hearing ninety-four instead of forty-nine.

Auditory Memory - Difficulty remembering what was heard, difficulty remembering important items from a lecture. Spells poorly.

Visual Sequencing - Problems in using a separate answer sheet. Loses place easily. Problems with reading. Reversing or misreading numbers of letters. Reading words incorrectly. Difficulty with equations.

Visual Memory - Difficulty remembering what was seen. Reading comprehension. Difficulty with math equations. Poor recall of information.

Dysgraphia - Inability to form letters correctly. students cannot read their own writing.

Visual Motor Integration - Mechanical problems in test taking. Difficulty copying from board or book. Spaces poorly. Poor written work. Unorganized.

Non-verbal learning disability is a neurological disorder which originates in the right hemisphere of the brain, causing problems with visual-spatial perception, intuitive, organizational, evaluative and holistic processing functions.

Auditory Figure Ground - Trouble hearing sounds over background noises.

Visual Figure Ground - Trouble seeing an image within competing background. Picking one line of print from another while reading.

Visual Discrimination - Seeing the difference between two similar objects

Spatial Orientation - Loses materials. Late to class. Difficulty with oral reading. Unorganized homework. Difficulty judging time.

Expressive Language - Difficulty expressing themselves. Difficulty with accessing stored information and turning it into language.

Receptive Language - Appears to be "not listening". Does not respond promptly to cues. Does not understand long sentences or 3 step directions.

There is no cure for a learning disability, but a proper diagnosis can go a long way to providing information on how to accommodate or modify instruction so that the person can learn anyway.

For instance, for a visual sequencing deficit, we can allow the person to write directly on an answer sheet, or have them read with a marker. For a visual memory deficit, we can make sure that they have a desk copy of anything that is written on the board or on an overhead. For auditory memory deficits, we can give the child an outline of any verbal lectures. As you can see, these aren't cures, but they sure help.

I have dyscalculia.

You can't really fix dyslexia. It's...it hinders, but you will probably need to go to the "special education" office at your school to see if they can help you.
