Dyslexia Document
Since my passion is Reading and Dyslexia, I couldn't resist this
article. In my prior research on Dyslexia, I had never heard of a
problem with "the medial geniculate body in the auditory thalamus not
processing speech sounds correctly" as the main cause. This was new to
me...very interesting. With 5-15% (this number varies depending on the
researcher) of our students suffering from Dyslexia, I feel educators
should do more to learn about the causes and effects on our students.
How can we help them succeed? How can we help them feel confident with
this unique dilemma?http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/releases/248758.php

This is very interesting! I would like to hear more on the findings of this. It is amazing all we know about the human brain.
ReplyDeleteWhy do we have to prove we are not a robot every time we comment?!? I can never read the letters and I have to try over and over! I know you will know the answer to this Tiffany.
ReplyDeleteFound this on a website.... Beginning in October, which is National Dyslexia Month, HBO has scheduled several showings of “Journey into Dyslexia.” The film is also available for purchase from HBO and from Amazon.com.
ReplyDeleteOn October 29, watch for the HBO premier of a second documentary called “The Big Picture Movie: Rediscovering Dyslexia,” which is currently being screened at film festivals around the country.
Another invaluable resource for families and individuals with dyslexia is this post from the National Center of Learning Disabilities: “The Natural Emotional Cycle for Parents of Children with LD.”
These powerful resources bring awareness to different ways of learning. Dedicating this October to understanding dyslexia in children, family, and friends can help you find a way to make a difference in the life of a dyslexic.
