Regrettably , dyslexia symptoms aren't always noticeable in a large percentage of the people with the condition. It is assessed that around 15% of the British and American population carry the dyslexia gene. However , only 5-10% of adults realise that their learning troubles stem from dyslexia.
Myths
There are some myths about dyslexia which must be cleared up. First off dyslexia symptoms aren't uniform. This means the symptoms change according to somebody ' s age and the scale of the problem. Second, the classic dyslexia symptoms which include writing backwards or moving letters around in words when reading only affect a small proportion of sufferers.
Real Symptoms
When trying to spot <a href="http://www.braingymwales.com/Dyslexia.html">symptoms of dyslexia</a> in small children, you must look at issues including delays in their speech and difficulties when it comes to rhyming words. When a schoolchild joins junior school, it becomes simpler to recognise symptoms which include difficulties:
- when it comes to learning the alphabet
- counting syllables in words
- learning the organisation between letters and sounds
- mixing up basic words, writing 'help ' rather than 'held ' as an example
As children with dyslexia get older, their reading might be slow, their spelling could be clearly bad with certain words left out altogether when they are reading and writing.
Yet dyslexia can still pass under the radar. It might take careful observation from a teacher, guardian to spot symptoms of dyslexia in a kid. One of the most obvious symptoms happens when a kid is intensely bright in normal conversation but performs unsatisfactorily when it comes to reading or written exams. Unfortunately, adults have a tendency to disregard any symptoms in the belief that they couldn't by any chance have this problem.
Though kids and grownups with dyslexia can perform reasonably well in terms of education and in their career, finding out you have it can make life far less complicated as you will gain advantage from supporting systems which will help you manage your dyslexia symptoms. Although there is now no cure for dyslexia, positive diagnosis makes all the difference to a frustrated child.
