What is Dyslexia? Official Definitions Defined: If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, it's probably a duck. Or is testing for dyslexia really necessary?. Official Definition #1 According to the World Federation of Neurology, dyslexia is: "a disorder manifested by difficulty in learning to read despite conventional instruction, adequate intelligence and sociocultural opportunity." (sic) Translated into plain English this means that if a student isn't dumb and he isn't surrounded by people who hate schools and if he goes to school and if he gets the "conventional instruction (Look-see or whole language) and if he still has problems reading, it must be that he is a dyslexic. Official Definition #2. According to the International Dyslexia Association's Committee of Members in November, 1994, "Dyslexia is a neurologically-based, often familial, disorder which interferes with the acquisition and processing of language. Varying in degrees of severity, it is manifested by difficulties in receptive and expressive language, including phonological processing, in reading, writing, spelling, handwriting, and sometimes in arithmetic. Dyslexia is not a result of lack of motivation, sensory impairment, inadequate instructional or environmental opportunities, or other limiting conditions, but may occur together with these conditions. Although dyslexia is life-long, individuals with dyslexia frequently respond successfully to timely and appropriate intervention."

Gifted Children with Learning Disabilities: A Review of the Issues Linda E. Brody and Carol J. Mills May/June 1997 Journal of Learning Disabilities Volume 30, Number 3, pp.282-286 Reprinted by Permission Table of Contents Abstract Who Are These Students? Definitions Definitions of Learning Disabilities ... References Abstract Many people have difficulty comprehending that a child can be gifted and also have learning disabilities. As a result, children with special needs that result from both their high abilities and their learning problems are rarely identified and are often poorly served. This article explores the current policies and practices with regard to defining, identifying, and educating this population. Recommendations are included that would help ensure that students who are gifted and have learning disabilities receive the intervention needed to help them achieve their full potential. When educators first began describing children who showed evidence of having a learning disability (LD) yet also appeared to be gifted, many viewed this as contradictory. The stereotype that had prevailed since Terman's (1925) time was that gifted children score uniformly high on intelligence tests and perform well in school. How could a child be considered gifted who has serious enough learning problems to be characterized as having a learning disability? In recent years, the concept of giftedness and learning disabilities occurring concomitantly in the same individual has become commonly accepted. Several books have been written on the subject, numerous articles have appeared in journals, and most educational conferences focusing on either learning disabilities or giftedness include at least one presentation on the dual exceptionality. We appear to have reached an understanding that high ability and learning problems can both be present in the same individual. Nonetheless, empirical research on the characteristics and needs of this population has been limited, and relatively few students with LD who are gifted are identified as such or given special services. In this review, we examine some of the theoretical arguments, regulations, and educational practices that affect students with LD who are gifted.

89. Kids With Dyslexia dyslexia affects many aspects of a child s life, including school achievement and the development of selfesteem. Read disability. http://kidshealth.org/parent/medical/learning/dyslexia.html

KidsHealth Parents Medical Problems Learning Disorders The highly verbal 5-year-old who can't master the alphabet. The bright, creative 7-year-old who's behind in his reading skills. The talented teenager whose mediocre grades are blamed on lack of motivation. The college student who scraped by in high school and now feels overwhelmed. What these otherwise bright, sociable young people have in common is a disability that makes learning in the "usual" way difficult. Dyslexia, characterized by problems with learning to read, remembering what was read, spelling, and organizing thoughts, may be noticed as early as kindergarten or may never be diagnosed. Because it interferes with the ability to learn in school, dyslexia can be frustrating for both students and parents. "Trouble With Words" A common assumption about dyslexia is that it is characterized by reading words in reversed order, i.e., "was" looks like "saw." Although this type of problem can be associated with dyslexia, the disorder cannot be explained simply as seeing letters or words backwards. Dyslexia is marked by difficulties making the basic connection between symbols (letters) and their sounds. When most children learn to read, they use typical "decoding" skills: recognizing letters on sight and learning the sound each letter makes. Then they begin to figure out (decode) what the letters will look and sound like when they are put together to form words. For people with dyslexia, the decoding process may be a challenge for several reasons. They may be unable to differentiate between certain sounds (such as "p" and "b"), or they may see (perceive) the letters spaced incorrectly, somewhat like this:

Abstracts/Annual Meeting Publications Full size image available below Dyslexia and Language Brain Areas The learning disability dyslexia, which centers on difficulties in reading, once stumped scientists. Since dyslexics often have good intelligence and even may be gifted in some areas, it was thought that a little motivation could get them on the right track. Now researchers not only know that dyslexia is born of biology, but they also are getting closer to confirming the key brain areas that are affected. New insights will help pinpoint therapies and improve treatment. Albert Einstein was a genius. And a dyslexic. The fact that the reading disability, dyslexia - often marked by deficits in the decoding of words - can affect smart people, even some famously knowledgeable, once perplexed scientists. Many assumed that laziness was the cause. Now research confirms that more than a kick in the butt is needed to jumpstart dyslexics' stall in reading. Studies show a biological basis for this disability that affects millions of American children and adults. One line of research indicates that dyslexics use the brain regions that process written language differently than those without the disorder. New advances are leading to: Earlier diagnosis and treatment of dyslexia.

Specific definitions for dyslexia vary with disciplines. Those in medicine define dyslexia as a condition resulting from neurological, maturational, and genetic causes, while those in psychology relate dyslexia on the basis of the specific reading problems evidenced and give no reference to causation. All disciplines would probably agree that dyslexia is evidenced by persons of otherwise normal intellectual capacity who have not learned to read despite exposure to adequate instruction.
