Minor Dyslexia

Discussions of dyslexia require a definition of the term, and this is where we can come into some confusion if we are not careful. In fact, the “problem” itself exists in the defining of the word, and thus the labeling of those to whom the definition applies. However, with some knowledge of the etiology of “dyslexia” we can begin to ply our beliefs off the population of “dyslexics” and start to gain some understanding of their experiences with language learning. This is, after all, the intention of this research. Guardiola (2001) also assisted in redirecting the academic focus in this direction, towards the etiology of the term and how its history has shaped current social work, education, neurobiology, and psychology perspectives.

I full heartedly blame my previous teachers for my current writing disability. I had just turned ten years old, we were about to begin our very first essays and it was on that day that my hatred of personal essays began. I didn’t find it difficult to write and I actually enjoyed the experience. We wrote brief, terrible stories both true and fictional that I’m truly sorry and grateful my teacher was able to read. Later, my writing began to improve and we learned to write in an argumentative and analytical way using facts and evidence and this is where I thrived. I loved the hours of research and the beauty of writing a well formulated thought. Then I noticed the lack of “I.” As my writing grew more bearable, the point of view changed and I took a note which my teachers confirmed. Eventually this idea grew until I couldn’t even read, much less write, a piece constructed in the first person.

Writing is a skill that is used on a daily basis in different mediums: emails, texts, academic papers, and social media platforms. While some mediums are more formal than others, writing in a proper way is still critical. For some, writing is second nature while others face difficulties constructing the perfect message. Growing up, the concept of writing was much more enjoyable than physically putting pen to paper. I found value in the idea of being able to express myself through my writing, yet when it came to academic papers, I froze. This was due to the fact that my writing was being judged, and that elicited fear which, in turn, made me second guess my writing abilities. While attending community college, I was required to take an

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.

At a very young age I had a hard time learning how to read and write. We didn't find out why till kindergarten when I took a test and scored positive for having dyslexia. Ever since that day teachers have worked with me to learn and understand english.

I am no writer. I don’t have connections to assemble or a creative imagination to share. What I do have are opinions to voice and arguments to present: but these, too, I must learn to communicate through writing. In the past, I have only ever written required assignments for school, and I struggled with them: I continue to struggle with writing today. After reading Dillard’s two essays, I learned more specifically that I struggle with beginning a piece of writing, writing clearly, and analyzing or revising what I’ve written.

When I was little my folks could never read to me. Being determined to have ADHD and was placed in Special Ed class in primary school and going to Sylvan I've discovered that I read superior to at composing since I was never instructed how to be a decent essayist.

Developmental Dyslexia is characterized by comparatively low reading abilities in regards to age, education and intelligence. Reading is a multifaceted mechanism, including phonological awareness in order to sound out different words, and also orthographic abilities to map the sounds to their visual forms. Any type of impairment to one of these facets can have a huge impacts on the other systems that are incorporated. Because of this, the many different theories in regards to dyslexia don’t often contradict each other, they just explain what happens in the different systems and facets that are incorporated in the complex cognitive process of reading. One of these theories is on the topic of the magnocellular system. This system is responsible

Growing up I learned to read in school like most others, but when it came to writing I was at a huge disadvantage. I have a disability called dysgraphia which effects the way I write. When it would come time for me to do my class work my peers and the teacher would struggle to understand what I had wrote on the assignment which would lead to chastisement from my peers. At one point I stopped enjoying school and even stopped doing my work. On top of the chastisement writing became too much of a chore for me to handle as I would end up growing tired both physically and mentally due to the way I would hold my pencil it would hurt my hand which would cause me to not be able to write for long periods of time without taking a break between paragraphs. Upon review of my work I would mentally beat myself up over the quality of my hand writing. I would find it tiring to constantly checking my letter alignment and spacing that I would spend five minutes writing and the next ten looking over what I had just wrote and re writing it all over again all while being mad at myself for not being able to write like my peers especially when it came to writing in cursive.

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.
