Dyslexia is a specific learning preference characterized by unexpected difficulties with literacy and numeracy skills despite a person's level of ability. Classic characteristics of dyslexia include phonological processing difficulties, variable performance, poor retention of previously learned reading and writing skills, and unexpectedly poor output for considerable effort. People with dyslexia often have strengths in creativity, higher-level thinking, and visual-spatial skills. Screening and adjusting teaching methods to be multi-sensory can help dyslexic students.

Introduction to learning disability
This document defines learning disabilities and their characteristics. It states that learning disabilities are neurological disorders that make it difficult for students to learn in conventional ways, despite average or above average intelligence. It identifies several types of specific learning disabilities, including dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, and dysphasia. It notes that ADHD commonly co-occurs with learning disabilities. The document concludes by explaining that learning disabilities are assessed both informally through observations and formally through standardized tests.
Dyslexia
This document discusses dyslexia, including what it is, how it affects people, and coping strategies. Some key points:
1) Dyslexia is a neurological learning difference that causes unexpected difficulties with literacy and numeracy skills, despite normal intelligence. It affects reading, writing, spelling, organization and memory.
2) Dyslexia occurs in people of all backgrounds and is often genetic. Around 10% of the population is dyslexic.
3) There is no cure for dyslexia, but coping strategies can help with literacy skills, organization, confidence and processing. Understanding dyslexia allows for appropriate support.
Types of Learning Disabilities
This document discusses several learning disorders: Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), also known as Central Auditory Processing Disorder, which affects how the brain processes and understands auditory information; Dyscalculia, which involves difficulties with mathematical concepts and operations; Dysgraphia, which impacts written expression; Dyslexia, characterized by problems with reading; and Dyspraxia, a disorder involving motor control and coordination. For each, it outlines common signs and symptoms and provides strategies to help students who have these disorders.
Dyslxia
Dyslexia is a difficulty with reading or writing that makes it hard for people to see words as meaningful shapes or distinguish between letters. There are different types of dyslexia related to irregular word reading, connecting sounds to symbols, or both deficits combined. Dyslexia is caused by brain defects and genetic factors. Doctors can examine children if parents notice problems reading by age 6-8. Diagnosis involves sensory, psychological, and skills evaluations. Symptoms include letter/number confusion, poor spelling, and issues with phonological awareness. Solutions include specialized teaching methods, assistive technology, extra time for tests, and activities to make learning letters fun.

Dyslexia
Dyslexia is a learning disability that affects reading, writing, spelling, and sometimes speaking abilities. It is caused by an impairment in the brain's ability to translate images from the eyes and ears into understandable language. There are three main types of dyslexia: visual dyslexia, where numbers and letters are reversed; auditory dyslexia, where a person has trouble processing sounds; and dysgraphia, where a person struggles with writing and fine motor skills. Dyslexia can be caused by brain trauma, genetic factors, or abnormal prenatal development. While dyslexia presents challenges, it is also associated with strengths like enhanced creativity, intuition, and visual-spatial thinking. Teachers can help dyslex

Jennifer Rothman provides psychological treatments for people with learning disabilities in NYC. The document discusses various types of learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia. It explains that learning disabilities affect areas like reading, writing, and math. While learning disabilities were once thought to be caused by single neurological problems, research now shows they can stem from subtle brain disturbances before or during birth, genetic factors, environmental toxins, infections, or head trauma. The document advocates getting an official diagnosis and creating a tailored plan to get appropriate help, which may be needed in various areas to support the child and family. It also discusses Response to Intervention, an early identification approach using research-based interventions.Supporting school children with Dyspraxia
Dyspraxia is a lifelong condition that affects motor coordination in children. It can impact physical skills, communication, attention, and self-confidence. Supporting children with dyspraxia involves improving physical skills through team activities, encouraging social communication, managing distractions in the classroom, and fostering self-esteem through inclusion with other children experiencing similar challenges. With the right accommodations, children with dyspraxia can learn and achieve.
6.Dyspraxia
Dyspraxia is a condition characterized by impaired motor skills and coordination due to problems with planning and executing movements. It affects approximately 1 in 20 students and can be caused by birth trauma or lack of nutrients early in life. Children with dyspraxia have difficulties with both gross and fine motor skills like running, catching balls, and handwriting. They also often struggle with speech, balance, midline crossing, and perceptual-motor skills. Regular structured practice of controlled movements is important for remediation and intellectual development in children with dyspraxia.
Dyspraxia a definitive guide
Dyspraxia is a lifelong learning difficulty characterized by problems with motor skills and coordination. It can affect gross motor skills like balance, fine motor skills like doing up buttons, and sometimes speech. Dyspraxia overlaps with other conditions and can cause social difficulties as well as anxiety and depression. While dyspraxic individuals may struggle with everyday tasks, they are often kind, creative, and hard working. Strategies like formal organization training, reminders, adaptive technology, and positive reinforcement can help dyspraxics succeed.

Speech and language impairment is defined as a communication disorder that affects a child's ability to produce sounds correctly (articulation), flow of speech (fluency), voice quality, or ability to express or understand language. Characteristics may include stuttering, difficulty with certain sounds, interrupted speech, abnormal voice pitch/loudness, improper word use, inability to express ideas, or reduced vocabulary. Teaching strategies include patience, individualized instruction, encouraging participation, creating an accepting environment, modeling good listening skills, speaking to the student normally, and using various listening activities to aid comprehension and production of sounds.

In contrast to talking or walking, which are acquired developmental milestones that emerge with brain maturation, academic skills (e.g., reading, spelling, writing, mathematics) have to be taught and learned explicitly.
• Specific learning disorder disrupts the normal pattern of learning academic skills; it is not simply a consequence of lack of opportunity of learning or inadequate instruction.

Dyslexia is a neurological difference that impacts cognitive skills like processing, rapid naming, sequencing, organization, working memory, and coordination. It causes difficulties with spelling, reading, and writing that are unexpected given a child's intelligence. Dyslexia is not due to low intelligence and not all poor readers have dyslexia. Signs of dyslexia include problems with phonological processing, working memory, rapid naming, and developing automaticity in reading, writing, and spelling. Teacher attitude is the most important environmental factor for success. Dyslexic children may experience low self-esteem particularly around age 11+.
