DYSLEXIA AND LEARNING DISABILITIES
Dyslexia and learning disabilities both refer to a disorder characterized by difficulty with learning certain skills such as reading or writing in individuals with normal intelligence. It is a matter of which profession is using the term. In education learning problems are called learning disabilities, and other professions because they are not involved with learning have chosen the term dyslexia to refer to an inability to benefit from classroom instruction.
The limitations referred to by dyslexia and learning disabilities can show up as specific difficulties with spoken and written language, coordination, self-control, or attention. Both impact schoolwork and can impede learning to read or write, or to do math.
Aspects of Treatment
While there are many theories about successful treatment for dyslexia and learning disabilities, there is no actual cure for it. There are, however, many techniques for helping the child to reach a normal level of development. And there are many methods for identifying the environmental influences that contribute to a lack of normal development.
Perhaps the most important aspect of any treatment plan is attitude. If the parents avoid the tendency to label their child, and see their child as having the potential to overcome, the child will be influenced by the positive attitude of their parents. As a consequence, problems with self-esteem, depression and other emotional concerns that usually accompany learning disabilities will become less of a problem.
The next step is to carefully observe and identify the presence of food allergies, or chemical, dust, mold, lack of exercise or lack of sleep all of which will interfere with the function of the brain and impede learning.
