Today every classroom has students with learning disability problems that teachers don't know about. As teachers we need to check every movement and every act that the students makes to find out if they qualify to be tested for learning disability. Dyslexia is a disability problem that we can confuse very easily with laziness, impaired hearing or vision, and poor intelligence.Students with Dyslexia can get very frustrated when they can't finish their activity on time. On my experience we have two students that were diagnosed with Dyslexia. At first teachers thought that it was because they were new to this country, it was normal for the student to act indifferent in class. The school system regulations are that foreign students need at least one year to adapt to the new environment, so they can test them for learning disabilities.
Dyslexia affect:
- Reading and reading aloud
- Some times speaking All rights reserved by lenkaland
Dyslexia is a long life challenge, but is not an impediment to have a career in life the good news is that students with Dyslexia can be good readers and writers with the proper help.
The Treatments for Dyslexia are:
- Language processing skills
- Extra time to complete assignments and tests
- Use computer with spell check for written assignments
- Computer software that reads printed materials aloud
Inclusion teachers usually work all subjects with students who has Dyslexia but overall the help we as teachers can give, I think that emotional support is the most important help we can give to our students.
