�What�s wrong with that kid?� �Are they stupid?� �Its time for your special class.� These are all phrase that children with learning disabilities hear through out their life. Most of the time, children with a sever diagnosis hear much more. Though children with a mild case, such as I, are not deemed to be telling the truth. It is assumed that all children with learning disabilities are supposed to be stupid? In movies such as �She�s All that�, a character with dyslexia is acts weird and crazy as well as considered to not as great as another character. because he has dyslexia. As well as thee characters in the movie are characterized as the jock, the cheerleader, the geek, this particular character is �the dyslexic�. I can tell you that these children are not stupid but just simply have a different way of looking at the world. One of these learning disabilities is dyslexia. What is dyslexia and how does it affect the children? Is there treatment? What is a way to understand and help research dyslexia? These are common questions asked to the parents or older children with dyslexia, and I will answer showing you that people with learning disability such as dyslexia are not stupid as the media and society portray them to be. |

In kindergarten, my teacher had noticed during writing center I would right my letters backwards or put them in a different order and read it correctly. My teacher then brought this up to my parents. She told my parents to consider to have me be tested to see if I had a learning disability. As the school district was paying for the testing, my parents agreed. A couple months later, I was diagnosed with dyslexia.
Dyslexia is a learning disability which the person diagnosed uses a different part of the brain to process information, making it difficult to write, spell, and to read. Dyslexia can effect anything a person diagnosed does that contains language. In some cases it can affect the development of a child�s communication as what they speak or write is out of order so it can not be understood by the listener but is completely correct to the speaker (IDA). This is maybe be the reason dyslexia is misunderstood but people do not even attempt to understand. A person with could be wanting to discuss intellectual conversations but as their peers push them away just because they have already predetermined the person was stupid. Doesn�t this seem wrong to misjudge a person�s intelligence just because that person is misunderstood? (IDA, digital madman) |

I myself not only had great difficulty with writing and reading, but still today have great difficulty remembering sequences of numbers. This is common as the brain process mixes up the order of numbers or letters making it be heard or seen out of order but to the person it�s correct. I have difficulty remembering phone numbers and addresses over three numbers. So it was extremely apparent that I had dyslexia as I would write my name out with letters backwards and say my phone number out of order and to me it was correct. Dyslexia effects more than just language but as it varies on what people have difficulty doing that they are considered to be a symptom but do not mean you have or do not have dyslexia. Most commonly people with dyslexia also can have difficulty with number sequences, orders of operations, organization, differentiating right and left, and learning language, rather it be native or foreign. In order for a person to say they have dyslexia they must be properly have gone through physicians to be diagnosed. (IDA, digital madman) |
