Extractions: There are many myths about learning and reading disabilities. One is that individuals with such disabilities are not as intelligent as people who do not suffer from them. This idea is entirely untrue. Like everyone else, people with disabilities span over a range of intelligences. A second common myth about reading disabilities, in particular, is that individuals who have difficulty with reading should only be taught skills. This teaching approach works against the development of reading fluency, and it disables students even further. Even students with reading disabilities can read and can enjoy reading. They simply read differently. Understanding a little more about how such students read and learn differently can help people to overcome myths about such disabilities and can ensure that every student receives the right to read. Generally, disabilities affect a person's perceptions and interpretations of what they see and/or hear, and they may interfere with certain information links within the brain. People with disabilities can have difficulties using language, paying attention, acting appropriately in social situations and coordinating their bodies' movements. While there are three main categories of disabilitiesdevelopment, academic and Reading Department Main Page Ten Tips for Improving Reading Ten Tips on Improving Reading across Learning Disciplines (Students) Ten Tips on Improving Reading across Learning Disciplines (Teachers) ... Places to Find Information and Articles about Issues in Reading otherthe focus here is on academic disabilities, in particular attention deficit disorder, dysgraphia and dyslexia. Each of these disorders affects a student's interaction with language and can therefore severely affect a student's self-esteem regarding his or her use of language. A brief description of each of these disabilities follows:

Extractions: Teaching Styles: Christian Secular Unschooling It's circle time. . . You hear "Pay attention!" as conversations from adjacent classrooms, growling stomachs and buzzing fluorescent lights pound your ears. Light rays bouncing off the chalkboard prevent lip-reading. Your clothing tag scratches your neck and tiny dirt particles stick between your toes. You softly rock to soothe your frazzled brain. You get scolded for rocking, so you scream in frustration. Welcome to the world of autism! Because traditional classrooms bombard their delicate senses, autistic children learn more freely at home. The "experts" discourage diving into homeschooling, so parents cautiously dip their toes into supplementing part-time. Once they wade into full-time teaching, many find the waters refreshing! Like parents, most autistic children need acclimation to homeschooling, or "deschooling" The more traumatized by school, the longer deschooling takes. A peaceful atmosphere, begging children to explore their interests through books, television, videos, outdoor play, self-directed projects, computers and field trips, can revive natural curiosity, or sprout it for the first time.

FREE Dyslexia Screening Test Frequently Asked Questions: Reading Intervention for Learning Disabilities Building Reading Skills Interventions for Reading Disorders Frequently Asked Questions about Reading Intervention For more information, Click Over to learn about our software, with instructions for parents and adults with learning problems. The answer to this question depends on the fact that the student has ADD rather than ADHD. The distinction is with hyperactivity (ADHD) or without hyperactivity (ADD). ADHD is a much more serious problem and would deserve a different answer. The general approach to working with students who have both ADD and dyslexia is to get the ADD under control and then work on the dyslexia. Getting ADD under control means using either medication or behavioral training so that a student can develop good academic habits related to assignment completion, sustained attention, assignment recording and other academic habits that can facilitate academic achievement. If these skills are in place, the intervention activities can then move to developing the word fluency and comprehension skills lacking in most dyslexic readers. The word fluency training in the CAAS SkillBuilder is an example of a reading intervention that has proven effective with students who have both ADD and dyslexia.

The primary cause is dyslexia or one of its many variations, such as ADD or dysgraphia. Today's educational methods are limited when it comes to teaching basic literacy skills to students who have problems with reading, and writing and math. The school system is stacked against dyslexics from the start, because they are "real world" thinkers, using mainly pictures and concepts instead of mental sentences. They require special training to master the basics of written language easily. This doesn't mean they are stupid. Leonardo da Vinci, Einstein, Edison, Churchill, Walt Disney, Whoopi Goldberg and Greg Louganis were considered "dummies" during their early years of school. They didn't suffer from learning disability, but teaching disability. Many teachers just don't know the right methods for presenting information in a form dyslexic and ADD children can assimilate. As a result, these children may be warehoused in "special ed" classes. The subsequent loss of self-esteem triggers the syndrome that makes dyslexia worse. Stress, confusion and heavy concentration only increase perceptual and attention problems. The harder a dyslexic struggles, the more difficult reading becomes.

Extractions: Perspectives on Dyslexia Dyslexia in Children: Symptoms, Causes and Treatments Reading and learning are the two things that determine the success of a child during his school career. First he learns to read. Then he reads to learn. Because the child with dyslexia battles to read, he is therefore also hampered in the learning situation. What are the symptoms and cause of dyslexia, and what can be done to help these children? By Benetta Strydom Dyslexia: Is the Shoe Perhaps on the Wrong Foot? Reading is the most important skill that a child must acquire at school, because one must learn to read to be able to read to learn. The implication of this is that the child who is a poor reader will usually also be a poor learner. Unfortunately poor reading skills, and therefore poor learning skills, have become a reality for an alarming number of people. Perhaps it has become time to put the shoe on the other foot By Susan du Plessis
