Dyslexia is a condition where the
brain does not process certain sounds and words faster than normal. It’s also a
hereditary condition. The more of these factors you can control, the better
chance you have of getting your child on track with their learning and social
development.
So if you are already aware of your
child’s situation, and you have answered all the questions in this guide then
there only remains to ask the last one:
How
can I find a school that best suits my child?
2. The challenges of
looking after a child with dyslexia
It is true that the science of dyslexia is very exciting, but it is also true that looking after a child with dyslexia can be a really tough job; and although there are currently many dyslexia specialities available, not all of them are suitable for children with dyslexia. It’s important to make sure you find the right school for your child, but here are 4 factors that can help you do this.
The
first one is where the school is located:
A school should be near your home so
you can easily take the child to lessons. But if you live in a rural area, it
may be preferable to have a longer commute than if you live in an urban area.
If it’s difficult for you to take your child to school, then look for a school
that teaches other subjects from an early age (like music and art).
If your child has behavioural
difficulties, look for schools that have good staff. A specialist teacher may
be able to help with these problems as well. And finally, if you have limited
finances (which I know some people find difficult), then look out for schools
which offer support packages such as grants or loans which can help parents pay
their tuition fees.
3. The symptoms of
dyslexia
Dyslexia is one of the most common learning disabilities in human life. It is estimated that about 10% of school children in the UK have dyslexia and as many as 20-25% of school pupils.
The reason for this is that dyslexia
can be traced to a particular type of brain wiring, which helps in reading and
spelling. The problem with some teachers is that they think they know what sort
of child has dyslexia, who it is and how to teach it properly. They will not
take these things into consideration and instead focus on how much a child can
write rather than how they read or spell. If you want to find out if your child
has dyslexia or if you want to know more about it, then the following are some
helpful factors:
1) Is your child able to recognise
letters from pictures?
2) Is your child able to read
non-words?
3) Does your child have any
difficulties with writing?
4) Does your kid have special
interests?
5) When he/she starts school will
there be difficulties when learning new subjects?
These four factors are important and
also help in finding the best school for dyslexia looking after children. This
article looks at each factor individually and explains what it means for you as
parents and educators before moving on to give some ideas on how you can find
schools that best suit your needs.
4. Different ways to help your child cope with dyslexia5. How to support your child at home6. Conclusion
Dyslexia is a disability that affects the way children, who are not yet able to read, are taught to think and process information. Dyslexia is a neurological condition that means that children have difficulties in processing sounds and writing. As such, it makes it difficult for them to learn visually as well.
Parents often have difficulty
finding suitable schools or teachers who can help their child with dyslexia. In
order to find an appropriate school or teacher, you should consider four
factors:
1) The type of school or classroom
you are looking for
2) The ability of the teacher to
help your child
3) The willingness of the teacher to
help your child
4) Any other relevant conditions
affecting your child's learning ability and needs
