What is Dyslexia?
(Shaywitz, 2003)
Is a difficulty in learning to read fluently and with
accurate comprehension.
Dyslexia reflects a problem within the language system
in the brain
the word “dyslexia” was coined by Berlin, a German doctor, from 2 Greek words• : Dys ( difficulty ) and Lexia
( the use of words ).
Dyslexia is a brain-based type of learning disability that specifically impairs a person's ability to read.
Affected person?
Studies show that approximately 10%
of school-age children experience
dyslexic-type difficulties.
About 4% have problems that are
severe enough to be a real handicap to their learning in a
traditional classroom.
Classification of Dyslexia
dyseidetic distinction
relates to a visual perception impairment
dysphonetic distinction
relates to a speech discrimination deficit
Symptoms of Dyslexia
These individuals typically read at levels significantly
lower than expected despite having normal
intelligence. Although the disorder varies from person
to person, common characteristics among
people with dyslexia are difficulty with spelling,
phonological processing (the manipulation of
sounds), and/or rapid visual-verbal responding.

mirror writing

noise.
At later ages symptoms can include a difficulty segmenting words into individual sounds, or blending sounds to make words, a difficulty with word retrieval or naming problems, commonly very poor spelling. Other classic signs for teenagers and
adults with dyslexia include trouble with summarizing a story, memorizing, reading aloud, and learning a foreign language.
Factors of Dyslexia

occurs after a brain injury or in the context of dementia. It can also be inherited in some families and recent studies have identified a number of genes that may predispose an individual to developing dyslexia.
