What is Dyslexia?

Dyslexia , also called developmental dyslexia , can affect a person's oral or written language comprehension (sometimes both can be affected). In other words, this is a comprehensive language learning obstacle. For many people, very simple tasks and activities, such as shopping lists, reading newspapers, or listening to tapes matching books, are not easy for people with dyslexia. 

Although brain diseases can cause dyslexia and other learning disabilities , such as dyscalculia and dyslexia (see sidebar), medical research shows that most problems are caused by brain disorders (not diseases). Brain imaging studies have shown that patients with dyslexia have different development and operation of the brain than those without dyslexia. In addition, dyslexia can be inherited. It has been found from many examples that children with dyslexia may also have this kind of learning disability with their father or mother (or both parents).

Dyslexia affects many people. The way it is embodied also varies from person to person. Some common signs in children are:

1. Difficulty in pronunciation
2. Unable to associate letters with sound
3. Have difficulty learning the alphabet, numbers, or important sequences (such as seven days a week)
4. Difficult to recognize time
5. Older children of middle school age may have the following symptoms:
6. Difficult spelling, often misspelling the same word in several different ways
7. Reverse the order of numbers or letters or exchange mathematical symbols
8. Don't like or always avoid reading aloud
9. Dyslexia
10. Reading level is far below his actual grade level
11. Memory difficulties

It is not uncommon to diagnose dyslexia after high school or college or even as an adult. Patients of these ages may have the following signs:

1. Difficult time management
2. Difficult to spell words correctly
3. Rely more on verbal language skills than writing skills, or avoid writing at all
4. Unable to understand abstract concepts
5. Difficult to answer open-ended questions during exams or interviews
6. Problems with planning and organizational capabilities
7. Difficult to summarize or outline ideas
