[00:00.00] Then, what causes dyslexia?
[00:02.00] There are several types of dyslexia that can affect the child's ability to spell as well as read.
[00:07.49]" Trauma dyslexia" usually occurs after some form of brain injury to the area of the brain that controls reading and writing.
[00:15.47] It is rarely seen in today's school age population.
[00:20.38] The second type is "primary dyslexia" . This type of dyslexia is a dysfunction of the left side of the brain( cerebral cortex) and does not change with age.
[00:31.54] Individuals with this type are rarely able to read above a fourth grade level and may struggle with reading,
[00:38.36] spelling, and writing as adults. Primary dyslexia is passed in family lines through their genes( hereditary).
[00:47.11] It is found more often in boys than in girls. A third type of dyslexia is referred to as" secondary" or" developmental dyslexia" and is felt to be caused by hormonal development during the early stages of fetal development.
[01:01.39] Developmental dyslexia diminishes as the child matures. It is also more common in boys. Before any treatment is started,
[01:10.56] an evaluation must be done to determine the child's specific area of disability. While there are many theories about successful treatment for dyslexia,
[01:20.42] there is no actual cure for it. But dyslexic individuals can learn to read and write with appropriate educational support.
[01:29.20] The school will develop a plan with the parent to meet the child's needs. If the child's current school is unprepared to address this condition,
[01:38.01] the child will need to be transferred to a school, which can appropriately educate the dyslexic child.
[01:44.48] Early intervention Is very helpful. Since stress and anxiety greatly contribute to the patients ' ability to absorb information,
[01:54.03] removing these is able to improve understanding. The key to help those patients is not to tell them to"read like a non-dyslexic person does."
[02:03.00]but to find a way of extracting information from the text that works efficiently for them.
[02:09.39] In other words, an appropriate treatment will focus on strengthening the child's weaknesses while utilizing the strengths.
[02:17.31] Perhaps the most important aspect of any treatment plan is attitude. The child will be influenced by the attitudes of the adults around him.
[02:26.25] One last reminder, dyslexia should not become an excuse for a child to avoid written work.
[02:32.30] Because the academic demands on a child with dyslexia may be great and the child may tire easily,
[02:38.51] homework assignments should be broken down into appropriate pieces.
