  1. LOST

  2. Take note of the next scenarios…

  3. Difficulties with word retrieval • Needing time to summon an oral • response • Pausing and hesitating often when • speaking • Using lots of “ums” during speaking, • lack of glibness • Using imprecise language for example • “stuff” instead of the proper name of • the object.

  4. Lack of strategy to read new, unknown • words - trouble sounding out unfamiliar • words • Inability to read small, • so-called function • words such as “that, “an”, “in” COSNTCTRUTING Æ ŘATF UδĪŊΦ AVAILABLE MATΞRAIL$ • Terrific fear of reading aloud; • avoidance of oral reading

  5. Having phonological difficulties, it is difficult to sort out the sounds with words thus resulting to problems with reading, writing and spelling.

  6. What is Dyslexia? Dyslexia is a learning disability who, despite conventional classroom experience, fail to attain the language skills of reading, writing and spelling commensurate with their intellectual abilities. The World Federation of Neurology defines dyslexia as "a disorder manifested by difficulty in learning to read despite conventional instruction, adequate intelligence and socio-cultural opportunity.”

  7. Theories of Dyslexia • Three current theories of dyslexia: the phonological deficit theory (PDT), the visual magnocellular deficit theory (MDT) and the cerebellar deficit theory (CDT).

  8. Theories of Dyslexia • PDT (Phonological Deficit Theory states that dyslexics have a specific impairment in representation and processing of speech sounds (phonemes). It is believed that the phonological deficit is manifested phonological awareness verbal short-term memory, word retrieval, and recoding in reading and spelling.

  9. Theories of Dyslexia • The MDT (magnocellular deficit theory) claims that the underlying cause of literacy problems in dyslexia is not language specific, but a more general impairment of the visual and/or auditory magnocellular system.

  10. Theories of Dyslexia • CDT (the cerebellar deficit theory) or formally known as automatization deficit theory that involves balance.

  11. Can you decode this? "Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingshuinervtisy, it deosn'tmttaer in wahtoredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olnyiprmoetnttihng is tahtfrist and lsatltteer is at the rghitpclae. The rset can be a toatlmses and you can sitllraed it wouthitporbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raederveylteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe." Why can’t a dyslexic read this?

  12. Q & A’s on Testing a Child for Dyslexia Are there different types of testing? Yes, there are two types: screen testing and comprehensive testing Can we only use one test? No! There is no single test to diagnose dyslexia. Several tests need to be administered (anywhere from 10-20 tests) which can last anywhere from 10 minutes to several hours over an extended period of time to diagnose dyslexia and determine whether or not an individual has a mild, severe, or profound case which can impact many areas. Who can test? A certified school psychologist

  13. How does the testing process work? A specialist must have enough evidence to justify having a child undergo the testing process. This requires the specialist to communicate with parents, study the child’s academic history, examine any previous interventions the child may have had, evaluate recent school work including writing samples, make classroom observations, and assess the student’s strengths and weaknesses to decide if they match the characteristics of a dyslexic learner. What role does the teacher play? A child can only be tested only after they have been completely exposed to reading and have still been unable to successful learn to read or write.

  14. Accommodations for a Dyslexic Child

  15. Keep directions clear and simple • Avoid giving multiple assignments • Avoid techniques based on sequencing • Avoid techniques based on directional patterns • Avoid long periods of independent work

  16. Rather than have him read about it, tell him about it • Rather that telling him about it, show it to him • Rather than showing it to him, let him touch it, observe it, feel it, build one, work one, do one

  17. Writing Helpers: • Partner (write with him) • Secretary (write for him)
