A learning disorder characterized by difficulty reading.
Dyslexia occurs in children with normal vision and intelligence.
Usually self-diagnosable
Symptoms include late talking, learning new words slowly, and a delay in learning to read.
People may experience:
Cognitive: difficulty memorizing, difficulty spelling, or difficulty thinking and understanding
Developmental: learning disability or speech delay in a child
Also common: delayed reading ability, headache, or speech impairment
Treatment consists of therapy
Most children with dyslexia can succeed in school with tutoring or a specialized education program.
Therapies
Individualized educational interventions, Rehabilitation, Occupational therapy, and Counseling psychology
There's no single test that can diagnose dyslexia. A number of factors are considered, such as:
Your child's development, educational issues and medical history. The doctor will likely ask you questions about these areas and want to know about any conditions that run in the family, including whether any family members have a learning disability.
Home life. The doctor may ask for a description of your family and home life, including who lives at home and whether there are any problems at home.
Questionnaires. The doctor may have your child, family members or teachers answer written questions. Your child may be asked to take tests to identify reading and language abilities.
Vision, hearing and brain (neurological) tests. These can help determine whether another disorder may be causing or adding to your child's poor reading ability.
Psychological testing. The doctor may ask you and your child questions to better understand your child's mental health. This can help determine whether social problems, anxiety or depression may be limiting your child's abilities.
Testing reading and other academic skills. Your child may take a set of educational tests and have the process and quality of reading skills analyzed by a reading expert.
