The Truths About Reading Disorders

By Essie Osborn


If your child is struggling with school, dreads, writing essays, to read aloud or tackling mathematical problems, then they may have an underlying disability. Even though most children have trouble with their homework occasionally, if you find that a certain area is consistently problematic, then it may be due to reading disorders. These conditions may significantly interfere with the self-esteem, daily activities and academic achievements of the child.

All book learning hitches are triggered by two main issues. They may be instigated by biological or linguistic problems, which are initiated by the children themselves. However, they can also be caused by external issues such as the social life and families that the affected individuals come from.

Kids who are mute, deaf or blind may have challenges when they read. These disabilities are caused by biological factors. Another reason is disorders in the brain of the child. Comprehension problems that result from these factors can be described well by doctors. They also know how to handle kids who suffer from such conditions.

Learning difficulties can also be triggered by external factors. These are usually aspects that are outside the body of the child or adult. Therefore, an individual can get these learning disorders regardless of whether they are sick or not. Some of these initiators are the environment, the school that the child attends, their social and even family life.

The common symptoms of this condition include trouble understanding letters, sounds and words and their meanings, slow word interpretation, problems recognizing words and letters and phonics. They also confuse the letter order, have difficulty remembering common sight words, they have a sluggish and agonizing learning and they frequently substitute general words such as a, I, he and she. However, these symptoms tend to vary from one individual to another.

The learning process usually entails a wide range of components. For example, visual memory, ability to sequence, eye muscle coordination, capability of associating various sounds with their meanings and integrating visual signs with memorized phonetics. Therefore, if any of these constituents are distracted a learning difficulty may develop. However, with advanced technology these disorders can be detected easily.

Affected children who attend preschool programs that are academically intensive or curriculum-based programs are identified earlier compared to those who do not engage in early schooling processes. Most educators believe that when this condition is identified earlier, then there will be a bigger success in incapacitating its challenges. Therefore, it is important for parents to be alert when their children are growing up.

Treatment options are readily available for these problems. A comprehensive assessment of the vision, intelligence and hearing of the child should be conducted. This will help to diagnose whether the youngster suffers from any other problem. This is because some kids will also have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or autism.

It can be quite difficult for any parent to know that his/her child has learning difficulties. This is because no one wants to see his or her kids suffering. However, you should remember that most of these children are smart just like the others. All that they require is a reading style that is tailored to their unique needs.
