Dyslexia

In 1968, the World Federation of Neurologists defined dyslexia s “ a disorder in children who, despite conventional classroom experience, fail to attain the language skills of reading, writing, and spelling commensurate with their intellectual abilities." Dyslexia is a common learning difficulty with reading, spelling, writing and sometimes speaking. The degree of suffering varies from one individual to another based on the type of teaching the person receives and on inherited differences in brain development. The brain of dyslexia has trouble recognizing or processing certain types of information. Individuals with dyslexia are unique, it is important to state that a multisensory approach can be valuable to many and especially for dyslexia individuals. In order to be able to teach students with learning difficulty, it is essential to see him or her as a whole person, with individual strengths and weakness. An understanding of the student’s specific difficulties, and how they may affect the student’s classroom performance, can enable the teacher to adopt teaching methods and strategies to help the dyslexic child to be successfully integrated into the classroom environment.
