Essay On Autonomic Dysreflexia

In my family, I am someone else who excels in certain intelligence traits and struggle in other areas. One of my strengths is doing anything with numbers. I can remember combinations for bicycle locks, but I also remember the room number and the codes. To remember all these numbers, I come up with a memorandum. Sometimes I find patterns within the numbers that will assist me. This came in handy when I was memorizing pi. I began only knowing 3.14, but after a few days, I knew 78 digits. However, I began to obsess over it, so I decided to stop remembering new digits. I eventually came back to it a year later, and I could still remember at least 30 digits off the top of my head. Although I love to learn codes and remember them, I am also inept

I’m a senior at the University of South Carolina Upstate and have been diagnosed with dyslexia since childhood. This label could have caused for a disastrous college experience, but there has always been something in myself pushing beyond the stigma.

The teacher walked to the front of the room with her book in hand and as she got closer to the front, Paul got lower in his seat. He knew what was coming next; it was time for the class to read the next chapter. The teacher would start reading and then call on different students to read as they moved through the chapter. This scared Paul right down to his toes. He had read in front of the class before, but it was what followed after class that worried him the most. The taunts from the other students like “retard” or “are you stupid or what?” This type of relentless teasing would continue until gym class where he could hold his own ground again. He did not have any problems in gym; class he was good at sports

All throughout my life I have looked up to my mother, she has guided me from the age of three, when she adopted me, until now and is still the best mom ever. When I was about five years old she took me to the doctor and I was diagnosed with Tourettes Syndrome. When I would come home from kindergarten I would be in excruciating pain from holding back my Tourettes in front of my classmates. So the following year she decided it would be best to home school me, after my seventh grade school year my Tourette's started to leave and is only a minor annoyance now. One of the things my Tourette's did not effect was my ability to learn and my devotion towards getting good grades.

Autonomic dysreflexia is a complication of spinal cord injuries. “It is a massive, uncompensated cardiovascular reaction mediated by the sympathetic nervous system” (Lewis, 2014, p.1784). There are many factors that need to be explored in relation to the complication of autonomic dysreflexia in spinal cord injuries. These factors include etiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostics, and collaborative care.

A.About five to six percent of American public school children have been diagnosed with a learning disability; eighty percent of the diagnoses are dyslexia-related. But some studies indicate that up to twenty percent of the population may have some degree of dyslexia.

According to Hull Learning Services (2013), dyslexia continues to be a subject of great debate. The word dyslexia is originated from the Greek dys- meaning ‘difficult’ and -lexia meaning to do with language. There are multiple definitions of dyslexia, because the matter in which in manifest in children and adults vary greatly. Definitions of dyslexia often focus on difficulties with the processes of writing, reading, spelling and general organization of everyday tasks. Dyslexia has been defined as the inability to acquire literacy despite normal intelligence. Other definitions have described dyslexia in terms of a list of symptoms. The symptoms often included are laterality problems; reversals in numbers, letters and/or words; reading

Tourette's Syndrome Gilles de la Tourette’s Syndrome (TS) is a sporadic or inherited complex neuropsychiatric disorder (not an illness) influenced by neurological, psychological, and sociological factors. It is characterized by involuntary tics - sudden, rapid, recurrent nonrhythmic movements or noises that occur repeatedly in the same way (Temple, 2003). The symptoms include: both multiple motor tics and one or more phonic tics (which may or may not include vocalizations and which sometimes include outbursts of swearing) present at some time during the disorder although not necessarily simultaneously; tics occur many times a day (usually in bouts) nearly every day or

In case if the kind of those symptom is present are a normal physiological sensation like dizziness, not indicative of disease. If a medical conditional is present there is a high risk the individual’s anxiety develop excessive preoccupation and disproportionate of the case. Individuals with this condition may repeatedly contact doctors, seek additional tests, scour internet sites and medical texts, and seek reassurance from significant others about bodily sensations which have been appropriately evaluated and judged to be benign. As a result of these emotional, cognitive and behavioral manifestations, is often disruptive to social, occupational and family functioning, and its associated economic costs are

All cranial nerves tested within normal limits. Pt passed visual fields exam and no problems with gag reflex. Pt moved muscles evenly and bilaterally and was able to shrug shoulders and move head from side to side.

According to the Dyslexia & Learning Disability Centre in Las Vegas, Dyslexia is an ability within the sensory mechanism of the nervous system to perceive the world with a multidimensional view. However it comes with poor word reading, word decoding, oral reading fluency and spelling. Though with appropriate teaching methods, dyslexic individuals can learn successfully throughout their lives. Also, when properly trained and informed, a dyslexic can use their

Dyslexia is a lifelong struggle with constant challenges with reading and speaking. About five to ten percent of the United States population deals with the learning disorder dyslexia (Van den Honert, n.d.). It is a neurological condition that is mainly caused by genetics but there are some rare cases in which it is acquired. Dyslexia interrupts the normal processes of reading and speaking (Van den Honert, n.d.). All of which are used in daily life and this makes life and school so much harder for dyslexics. They must learn to live with the condition for their entire life and there is not really a treatment for it. With the constant struggle and reminder of their

Some of us in the world may have problems with reading, spelling, and other academics. You might not know why they cannot read or spell as well as you can because they have a disorder. This disorder is called dyslexia. People with dyslexia struggle with: listening, reading, writing, spelling, and even handwriting. However, having dyslexia doesn’t mean that they are not intelligent. Some of the greatest minds in the world have or had dyslexia. One of the most fascinating reasons for dyslexia is the dominate ear. Even though they may be different doesn’t mean that they are stupid. (Hotz, Sollier)

Growing, developing and learning are the facts of life for all children. Each day children are faced with many new concepts and various challenges. Can you imagine how it feels for a child to face not only new challenges life has, but to face these challenges while living with a learning disability? These challenges are met not just when they begin school either. Students suffer from learning disabilities from the moment they begin learning, not when they start school. Learning disabilities are real and they affect millions of people. “One such disability that affects over approximately 15 percent of the total American population is dyslexia” ( Nosek 5).

One of my primary focuses was to find out how different literatures dealt with Dyslexia and how best to support the child. Dyslexia can be described from a number of different perspectives as we see in Ball et al (2007) who explain that it can be “how one learns (Cognition), what parts of the brain are involved (neurology), what genes are involved (genetics) and behaviour (p14). Their book entitled ‘Dyslexia: An Irish perspective’ is very relevant to my research as it gives a great insight into the history of the special education sector in Ireland. It also looks into some of the key debates that are facing the educational sector today.
