Dyslexia - Information For The Public
Student dyslexia information project from Malacaster College. Thorough information on definitions and causes.
http://www.macalester.edu/~psych/whathap/UBNRP/Dyslexia/

Extractions: Welcome to the Dyslexia Homepage. Dyslexia is a disorder that affects millions of people all over the world. It is one type of specific learning disability (SLD) that affects reading. SLDs can affect people as verbal and nonverbal deficits in all cultures, as seen in current SLD research on Japanese symbols. Although people can learn to compensate for their SLD, it is a permanent disorder that affects the way a person understands, processes, "takes in," retains, recalls, and/or expresses information. SLDs affect esteem, education, vocation, socialization, and daily life through problems in listening, reading, writing, spelling, mathematics, problem solving, organization, and time management through verbal and nonverbal perceptions. A person with a SLD learns at their own level and pace, while excelling in at least one area. Frequently, they will be inconsistent in their daily tasks and abilities, such as spelling a word one day and not the next day. Some of their experiences are difficulties with concentration, perception, memory, verbal skills (oral and/or textual), abstract reasoning, hand-eye coordination, social adjustment, low grades, underachievement, and expression. Often, people with SLDs have been considered lazy, rebellious, class clowns, unmotivated, misfits, or of low intelligence. These misconceptions, without understanding the SLD's effect on the person's life, lead to rejection, isolation, feelings of inferiority, discouragement, and low self-esteem.
Sam's Story Of Life With Dyslexia
Tells what it's like to be a kid with dyslexia. Includes a simple explanation of how kids with this condition learn to read.
http://kidshealth.org/kid/health_problems/learning_problem/dyslexia.html

Extractions: Sam K. is like a lot of kids: he prefers sports to studying. He says that he is especially good at baseball, but he enjoys all sports. So his hero must be Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, or maybe Kobe Bryant? Not even close. It's Albert Einstein, and a poster of the famous scientist decorates Sam's bedroom wall. Why Einstein? "Because he had dyslexia, too," says Sam. Dyslexia (say: dis- lex -ee-uh) is a name for a learning problem that involves reading and writing. Sam has trouble reading and remembering what he read. It doesn't mean he is not smart. (Einstein had dyslexia, and everyone knows he was very smart.) Most people with dyslexia have average or above-average intelligence. Sam, who is 8, has taken a lot of tests, and he knows that he has above-average intelligence. He's really good at math, science, art, and (of course) gym. So why is it hard for him to read? It's the way the brain is organized in people with dyslexia. Sometimes the messages the brain is sending get jumbled up or confused. Kids like Sam may be able to see and hear perfectly well. But what they see and hear looks different or sounds different than it would to most people.

Extractions: Sarah hates reading aloud in class. She's never been a good reader, and even when she recognizes the words on the page, she seems to have trouble saying them correctly. School's never been her favorite place, anyway, because her teachers always complain about her writing and her spelling. She often gets discouraged, thinking that she's not as smart as other students. Fortunately, Sarah has discovered she has talents that others don't. She's great at dreaming up costume and scenery ideas in drama club, and she's one of the best artists in her school. Sometimes she wonders how she can do so well in some areas of her life and so poorly in others. What Sarah, her parents, and her teachers don't realize is that Sarah has dyslexia. What Is Dyslexia? Dyslexia (pronounced: dis- lek -see-ah) is a type of learning disability . A person with a learning disability has trouble processing or understanding words or numbers. There are many different kinds of learning disabilities; dyslexia is the term used when people have difficulty learning to read, even though they are smart enough and are motivated to learn. The word dyslexia comes from two Greek words: dys , which means abnormal or impaired, and lexis which refers to language or words.
