From a young age Stephen was told that he wouldn't amount to much in life. His teacher's flunked him in first grade and fourth grade and was asked to leave the school so he transferred to a new school. He then flunked tenth grade and once again was asked to leave so you would also think that this kid wouldn't amount to much in life.

If you ever talk to an adult with dyslexia, they would most likely have plenty of stories of the difficulties they faced in school related to having dyslexia. For instance, they may have been diagnosed late, bullied because of their symptoms or excused of being dumb and lazy by teachers and parents alike. Elementary school is the beginning of a student’s formal education and the foundation for their future education and professional life. Therefore, skill such as reading comprehension is essential for the betterment of the child, unfortunately many children are diagnosed with intellectual disabilities such as Dyslexia that hinders their reading comprehension skills. However, there are strategies that educators can use to facilitate

Ms. Olsen is a student that suffers from ADHD. She enjoys her literature class but she has a hard time paying attention sometimes. She also suffers from dyslexia which makes it hard for her to read words. The curriculum have accommodated her with tools that have made her more enthusiastic about class.

As a musician/performer I would say that I dealt with a few struggles throughout the semester. One major struggle would be trying my hardest not to get frustrated when I wasn’t able to play properly because allowing that to affect me would prevent me from getting better at my instrument. The second struggle was that I allowed myself to get distracted which also at times prevented me from doing my best. As far as my strengths I feel as though once I got through those struggles I was able to play my best and work harder to get those high notes out. Overall I believe that after the performances I was able to see how I have progressed and that allowed my determination to grow.

In an English Rhetoric class, a professor of mine once articulated the logic of learning by stating, for a person to authentically take command of his/her knowledge they must be able to teach what they have learned (2012, P. Lumsden, lecture). Dyslexia, a specific word reading disability causing a deficit in phonological awareness (PA) fluency and comprehension, affects seventy-two percent of the children in Alberta with learning disabilities (LD). Through years of research in the field of Dyslexia, empirical evidence demonstrates that prevention by way of early intervention is the most successful method to offset dyslexia (2008, S.E. Shaywitz, R. Morris, & B.A., Shaywitz, p. 462-463). However, despite efforts in early grades, a number of students

Dyslexia is a family problem as well as an academic problem for children around the world. All cultures are affected by it. The entire family has to deal with the issue. It can be recognized as early as kindergarten, (Zieman). According to Theories of Childhood, Second Edition, “Vygotsky believed that learning and development are similar but not identical. The combination of instructing the child and honoring the child’s individual development optimizes learning.” When children are silent from socializing and are quiet most of the time, there is no way to observe them to get a complete assessment of their learning according to Vygotsky (Mooney, 2013). A dyslexic child whose self-esteem has been lower or the child has been called names, may

There was a lot of interesting topics in both chapters for this week, but I am especially interested in the learning disorder of dyslexia in chapter eight. Dyslexia is a reading disorder that cause individuals to mix up similar letters such as p, q, b, and d, or rearrange words into either other words or gibberish. Researchers believe the cause of this disorder is malfunctioning neural networks of reading, and epigenetic processes, or environmental factors, are also thought to be a cause. However, dyslexia isn't the only learning disorder of this sort: Dyscalculia and dysgraphia also hinder a child's ability to learn normally. Dyscalculia centers around numbers. Individuals with this disorder typically can read letters just fine or with little

Research in the field of Dyslexia has grown twenty-five percent throughout the last few years. From recent studies, we have discovered new and improved ways to help people who are hindered by Dyslexia, even though we are still learning more about Dyslexia every day. Dyslexia is a learning difficulty that hinders the academic progress of over 40 million American students who struggle daily, and can be helped with accommodations. In order to help these 40 million students, we must acknowledge what is Dyslexia, recognize what it is like to be Dyslexic, and explore what accommodations should be given to those who need it.

Strength is said to be the quality or state of being strong-willed. The lack of state or condition can be portrayed as weakness. Comparing myself to the definition of a normal persons concept of strength and weakness is impossible, because of what has been embedded in my head confederated me to view and value my weakness as a strength.

Difficulties can be hard to overcome for anyone, but for people with dyslexia it’s almost nearly impossible. Dyslexia is a learning disability also known as a reading disorder. People with dyslexia have to overcome many obstacles such as reading quickly, writing and spelling words, and even sounding them out in their heads. People with dyslexia might think they have a disadvantage but sometimes it can help them get an advantage. People with dyslexia are forced to develop skills they never knew they could learn. Doing things you never thought possible like Gary Cohn who lied about being a good trader, when in reality never traded in his life nor did he know how to, but he adapted and learned quickly because he had nothing to lose. It’s the mentality

15% of Americans suffer from a reading problem known as Dyslexia. These individuals who suffer from Dyslexia may, according to Webmd.com (2015), “have trouble with reading, writing, spelling, math, and sometimes, music”. When I think of Dyslexia, I think of someone who mixes up their numbers and letters around while reading. Growing up, I would mix up my numbers and letters (I still mix up my numbers from time-to-time) and was tested for Dyslexia. I was never diagnosed with being Dyslexic, but it was always something I thought about.

I”m not a regular student at Slippery Rock University. I'm a Student who has a learning difference which is Dyslexia. That means that it is harder for me to read and write so it takes me a lot longer to do my homework, study, and take tests. That is what made me the person i am today. I have found ways to get around my Dyslexia.

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.
