Diagnostic and Treatment of Dyslexia
Diagnostics
If your child has difficulty reading, the pediatrician should examine your eyesight, hearing and motor skills to detect a problem. If there is no disorder in these areas, you should take a reading specialist and / or a child psychologist. The doctor will check your child in search of physical or emotional problem that causes their difficulty reading. The psychologist or reading specialist will make diagnostic tests relating to reading, writing and memorization. These tests verify the diagnosis of dyslexia.
Treatments
Once a guardian has been diagnosed with dyslexia in phonics can raise a child to appropriate reading level for their intelligence. Inform your child’s teacher and ask him to be sympathetic. There are adapted versions of tests for students with dyslexia. Dyslexia can be overcome if it is properly diagnosed and treated with patience and willpower. The problems in education are usually the result of misdiagnosis and the subsequent frustration of children to feel helpless. Look for areas where the child stands and put the emphasis on them.

Reading is difficult because they can not distinguish certain letters or invest mentally. Although often described children with dyslexia as “learning disabled” most can learn and their problems are not related to intelligence. In fact, many dyslexics are highly intelligent and some achieve extraordinary success.

The problem is not behavioral, or psychological, or social or motivational. Dyslexia results from a structural and functional differences in the brain. People with dyslexia are unique, and each has individual strengths and weaknesses. Some dyslexics are creative and has an unusual talent in areas of the arts, sports, electronics, graphic design and architectural, engineering, theater, music or engineering. Dyslexics show their special skills in those areas that require motor integration, spatial and visual. Their language difficulty processing distinguish them as a group. This means that dyslexics have problems adapting from one language to another (such as listening and writing) or communicated through language (written or oral)

Recent research indicates that dyslexia is found in certain families, usually a father, sister, grandparent or aunt may have similar difficulties in learning. Many children have never been diagnosed or treated. Dyslexia occurs in all social groups, affects people of all ages and races.
People and children with dyslexia need special training programs for learning to read, write and spell. Traditional educational programs are not fully effective for dyslexics. They require a speech and a program content, this approach is called “systematic instruction of language.” A therapist or educator in multisensory language structure is very appropriate to teach people with dyslexia.
